Media-session itself uses ms.core, there are only two files that could
have a sub-topic but right now they don't use it (match-rules and
metadata).
The modules use the ms.mod.* namespace, so it's trivial to filter on
those.
pw_log_log/logv now go through the topic-based logger using the
"default" topic. Log topics themselves can be allocated by the call
sites. The simplest way to use a topic from e.g. a module:
PW_LOG_TOPIC_STATIC(mod_topic, "mod.foo");
#define PW_LOG_TOPIC_DEFAULT mod_topic
...
void pipewire__module_init() {
PW_LOG_TOPIC_INIT(mod_topic);
...
}
With the #define all pw_log_foo() are now routed through the custom
topic. For the cases where the log topic must be specified, a
pw_logt_foo() set of macros is available.
Log topics are enabled through the PIPEWIRE_DEBUG environment variable
which now supports globs, e.g. PIPEWIRE_DEBUG="*:I;mod.access:D"
to enable global INFO but DEBUG for the access module.
Namespaces documented are "pw", "mod" and "conn", for pipewire-internal
stuff, modules and connection dumping. The latter is special-cased to
avoid spamming the log files, it requires an expcit "conn.<glob>"
pattern to enable.
The "default" topic always exists and is the fallback for any
pw_log_foo() invocation that does not use a topic.
Allow one of "XEWIDT" to refer to none, errors, warnings, info, debug
and trace, respectively because they're immediately recognizable. Well,
except maybe the X.
PIPEWIRE_DEBUG="I" is equivalent to PIPEWIRE_DEBUG="3" for example.
This is an attempt of breaking up the documentation, currently spread across
several pages. We're left with a few high-level topics with various things
grouped underneath those.
Further refinement is necessary, but this can now be done in incremental steps
over massive reworks.
