Debugging

All the owlib programs support various levels of debugging output.

  • owserver
  • owfs
  • owserver
  • owhttpd
  • owperl, owpython, owtcl, owphp

 

Typicical debugging output looks like:

   DEBUG: ow_read.c:(248) return=0
Byte buffer OWQ_parse_output_offset_and_size, length=12
--000: 20 20 20 20 20 20 31 34 2E 37 36 36
   <      14.766>
  DEBUG: ow_read.c:(258) After read is performed (bytes or error 12)

In general messages are 1 per line. E.g:

  • DEBUG:
    (or CALL:, etc -- message level where DEFAULT is least and DEBUG most)
  • ow_read.c: (221)
    file and line of the source code that generated the message.
  • Message text

 

All the debugging putput is controlled by command line parameters:

 

In addition to this information, two more levels of messages can be generated by specially compiled versions:

  • ./configure --enable_owtraffic
    Show data sent and recieved by the bus master
  • ./configure --enable_owmalloc
    Show all memory allocation and release to post-process for memory leaks.
