NAME

6       weston-debug - a tool for getting debug messages from compositor.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       weston-debug [options] [names]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       weston-debug  is  a debugging tool which uses weston_debug_v1 interface
13       to get the debug messages from the compositor. The debug  messages  are
14       categorized  into  different  debug streams by the compositor (example:
15       logs, proto, list, etc.,) and the compositor requires a file descriptor
16       to stream the messages.
17
18       This  tool  accepts a file name or a file descriptor (not both) and any
19       desired debug stream names from the user as command line arguments  and
20       subscribes  the  desired  streams  from  the  compositor  by  using the
21       weston_debug_v1 interface. After the subscription, the compositor  will
22       start to write the debug messages to the shared file descriptor.
23
24       If no file name or file descriptor argument is given, the tool will use
25       the stdout file descriptor.
