The exact syntax is platform specific. + + +Description +----------- + +Use this environment variable to specify a log file other than the +default. If :ref:`NSPR_LOG_FILE` is not in the environment, then log output +is written to ``stdout`` or ``stderr``, depending on the platform. Set +:ref:`NSPR_LOG_FILE` to the name of the log file you want to use. NSPR +logging, when enabled, writes to the file named in this environment +variable. + +For MS Windows systems, you can set :ref:`NSPR_LOG_FILE` to the special +(case-sensitive) value ``WinDebug``. This value causes logging output to +be written using the Windows function ``OutputDebugString()``, which +writes to the debugger window. |
