💅 DEBUGLIB 💅

okay so real talk, this is a page from the BRL-CAD User Commands manual (the nged crew 🌸) — and it's all about one tiny command that lets you peek at or poke the debug flags that librt is using. yes bestie, that librt. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

debuglib — the little command that sets or checks the debug flags used by librt. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

debuglib [hex_code]

so simple. so iconic. hex_code is optional and it's the only thing you can hand it. 💅

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

okay so here's the tea 🍓: debuglib lets you set or check the debug flags used by librt.

Run it with zero arguments and it's in full main-character display mode — it shows you all the possible settings for the librt debug flag plus the current value. like a little vibe check for your library. ✨

Hand it a hex_code and that value becomes the new value for the flag. no cap, that's literally the whole thing. 🔥

and btw, librt isn't the only library with one of these — there are similar debug commands for other BRL-CAD libraries, iykyk:

  • debugbu — the debug command for libbu 🧚
  • debugnmg — the debug command for the NMG portion of librt 👑

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

Example 1. List available debug values for librt and the current value.

this one is the "no argument, just vibes" mode — it lists the available debug values for librt and the current value. 🫶

mged>debuglib

Lists available debug values for librt and the current value.

Example 2. Set the librt debug flag to a specific value.

this one actually sets the flag, so it's giving "i make the decisions here" energy 💅

mged>debuglib 1

Sets the librt debug flag to <DEBUG_ALLRAYS> (prints info about rays). 🌸
