Function

GLibparse_debug_string

Declaration 

guint
g_parse_debug_string (
  const gchar* string,
  const GDebugKey* keys,
  guint nkeys
)

Description

Parses a string containing debugging options into a %guint containing bit flags. This is used within GDK and GTK+ to parse the debug options passed on the command line or through environment variables.

If string is equal to “all”, all flags are set. Any flags specified along with “all” in string are inverted; thus, “all,foo,bar” or “foo,bar,all” sets all flags except those corresponding to “foo” and “bar”.

If string is equal to “help”, all the available keys in keys are printed out to standard error.
