257810 - RFE Way of dynamically turning on and off pr logging

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 237326

(NSPR :: NSPR, enhancement)

Description

[David :Bienvenu]

An enterprise user mentioned that PR Logging would be even more useful if we
could add UI to turn logging on and off. If we had API's to set the logging
vars, then we could allow enterprises to add UI with an overlay to turn on and
off various forms of logging, and to even e-mail the log to the support desk.
This would be very cool - I looked through bugzilla and couldn't find any other
bugs like this. I think just adding an API to (re) set the log modules and log
file would probably be sufficient. Would you object if I coded up such a
function? I know adding functions to NSPR is not something to be taken lightly :-)

I remember timeless filed an RFE for this and submitted
a patch.

David, can you confirm that this is a duplicate of bug 237326?

Wan-Teh, bug 237326 could solve the log module part of the problem, and
PR_SetLogFile would allow us to set the log file from the UI.

I need to echo what timeless said - the code we would add has no knowledge of
the individual log modules, so we need to pass in the log module names as
strings, not  PRLogModuleInfo structs. It sounds like we want to do the same
thing...or at least enable others to do the same thing :-) So I'll resolve this
as a dup, thx, sorry for the dup.
