Could someone give me more details on the different levels of debug (-D[x]). For example, is level [0] essentially no additional information, or just very limited? Is level [9] the highest? And what does it encompass? What is the highest level that would not include the low level USB info? Couldn't find it covered in the Docs. PS - I thought I would post this to the list, in case anyone else has pondered the same. Karl |

Zero is "none". More is, well, more. Debug levels in Garmin protocol are different than they are in other formats, for example. It's not the best reasoning ever, but the premise was sort of "if you needed it and had any chance of understanding it , you probably were slogging around in the source anyway" so I never saw a reason to legislate it. > information, or just very limited? Is level [9] the highest? And what Kind of by convention, I've used 9 for "all than anyone ever deserves to know". > Couldn't find it covered in the Docs. It sounds like an excuse, but it really was meant to be a developer thing. But you're right. We really should have a page in the usage chapter that describes the various flags like -D, -s, -c, and so on. I won't get to that in the short term, but I'm putting it on my markerboard of stuff to do. RJL |
