Logging

By default, igir will print the following log levels:

• ERROR: an unexpected error has prevented an intended command
• WARN: a preventable error has prevented an intended command

There are additional levels of verbosity that can be enabled with the -v flag:

• INFO (-v): print information about actions taken.

  This includes:

  • Files being copied, zipped, and linked
  • dir2dat files being created
  • Fixdat files being created
  • Input files deleted after being moved
  • Output files being cleaned
  • Report files being created

  Usage:

  igir [commands..] [options] -v
  

  This level is helpful to turn on if you want to know every action that is resulting in a file being created, modified, or deleted.

• DEBUG (-vv): print information about actions taken and skipped.

  This includes:

  • Everything from the INFO level above
  • Files skipped from being copied, zipped, or linked because the output file exists and an --overwrite option wasn't provided
  • Fixdat files skipped from being created because all games were found

  Usage:

  igir [commands..] [options] -vv
  

  This level is helpful to turn on if you want debug why an action didn't take place.

• TRACE (-vvv): print information about actions taken, skipped, and additional information that can be helpful to debug issues.

  Usage:

  igir [commands..] [options] -vvv
  

  Note

  Trace logs are required when submitting bug reports as they include information that can help diagnose your unique situation!
