💅 DEBUGBU 💅

okay so real talk, this is a page from the BRL-CAD User Commands manual — it's DEBUGBU(nged) and it's literally the little knob-turning command for libbu's debug flags. bestie, let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

debugbu — the command that lets you set or check the debug flags that libbu uses. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

debugbu [hex_code]

one optional argument, a hex_code. that's the whole synopsis, we love a minimal icon 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so debugbu is how you set or peek at the debug flags libbu is running with, no cap.

when you give it no arguments at all, debugbu displays every single possible setting for the bu_debug flag plus the current value. like a full vibe check of the flag's whole life 😭

when you hand it a hex_code, that value becomes the new value for bu_debug. periodt, that's the assignment 🔥

and side note for the girlies keeping track — there are sibling commands for the other BRL-CAD libraries: debuglib handles librt, and debugnmg handles the NMG portion of librt. same energy, different library 🫶

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

okay so here's how it goes down in practice. example one is the no-argument version — it dumps all the possible settings plus the current value. example two passes a hex code and that hex code becomes the new bu_debug value. iconic behavior honestly 👑

🎀 Example 1. Display a list of available bu_debug values and the current value.

mged>debugbu

Lists available bu_debug values and the current value. — literally just showing you the menu of what's possible and where you're at rn 🙈

🦋 Example 2. Set a new value for bu_debug.

mged>debugbu 2

Sets bu_debug to <MEM_CHECK>. — yeah, hex 2 walks in and now it's MEM_CHECK szn 💀✨
