329 | 7. Debugging | ||
330 | |||
331 | The module kernelcapi has a module parameter showcapimsgs controlling some | ||
332 | debugging output produced by the module. It can only be set when the module is | ||
333 | loaded, via a parameter "showcapimsgs=<n>" to the modprobe command, either on | ||
334 | the command line or in the configuration file. | ||
335 | |||
336 | If the lowest bit of showcapimsgs is set, kernelcapi logs controller and | ||
337 | application up and down events. | ||
338 | |||
339 | In addition, every registered CAPI controller has an associated traceflag | ||
340 | parameter controlling how CAPI messages sent from and to tha controller are | ||
341 | logged. The traceflag parameter is initialized with the value of the | ||
342 | showcapimsgs parameter when the controller is registered, but can later be | ||
343 | changed via the MANUFACTURER_REQ command KCAPI_CMD_TRACE. | ||
344 | |||
345 | If the value of traceflag is non-zero, CAPI messages are logged. | ||
346 | DATA_B3 messages are only logged if the value of traceflag is > 2. | ||
347 | |||
348 | If the lowest bit of traceflag is set, only the command/subcommand and message | ||
349 | length are logged. Otherwise, kernelcapi logs a readable representation of | ||
350 | the entire message. | ||
