+NSPR_LOG_FILE
+=============
+
+This environment variable specifies the file to which log messages are
+directed.
+
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+::
+
+ filespec
+
+*filespec* is a filename. 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.
