The choices are: \fBFile\fP?, \fBMessage Box\fP, \fBShell\fP (meaning stderr), \fBSyslog\fP an \fBNone\fP. Please do not direct fatal messages to syslog unless you are the system administrator yourself. The default is ?Message Box?. .sp 1 \fBFilename:\fP .br This is only enabled when you have chosen \fBFile\fP as the output and provides the name of that file (which is interpreted as relative to the current folder). The default is \fIkdebug.dbg\fP. Apart from this, you can also tick the checkbox Abort on fatal errors. In this case, if a diagnostic message with the severity level KDEBUG_FATAL is output, the application aborts with a SIGABRT after outputting the message. .sp 1 When you close the dialog by pressing OK, your entries apply immediately and are saved in \fIkdebugrc\fP. When you press Cancel, your entries are discarded and the old ones are restored. .SH OPTIONS .SS Options: .TP .B \-\-fullmode Show the fully\-fledged dialog instead of the default list dialog .TP .B \-\-on Turn area on .TP .B \-\-off Turn area off .SS Generic options: .TP .B \-\-help Show help about options .TP .B \-\-help\-qt Show Qt specific options .TP .B \-\-help\-kde Show KDE specific options .TP .B \-\-help\-all Show all options .TP .B \-\-author Show author information .TP .B \-v, \-\-version Show version information .TP .B \-\-license Show license information .TP .B \-\- End of options .SS .SS Qt options: .TP .B \-\-display Use the X-server display 'displayname' .TP .B \-\-session Restore the application for the given 'sessionId' .TP .B \-\-cmap Causes the application to install a private color map on an 8\-bit display .TP .B \-\-ncols Limits the number of colors allocated in the color cube on an 8\-bit display, if the application is using the QApplication::ManyColor color specification .TP .B \-\-nograb tells Qt to never grab the mouse or the keyboard .TP .B \-\-dograb running under a debugger can cause an implicit \-nograb, use \-dograb to override .TP .B \-\-sync switches to synchronous mode for debugging .TP .B \-\-fn, \-\-font defines the application font .TP .B \-\-bg, \-\-background sets the default background color and an application palette (light and dark shades are calculated) .TP .B \-\-fg, \-\-foreground sets the default foreground color .TP .B \-\-btn, \-\-button sets the default button color .TP .B \-\-name sets the application name .TP .B \-\-title sets the application title (caption) .TP .B \-\-visual TrueColor forces the application to use a TrueColor visual on an 8\-bit display .TP .B \-\-inputstyle <inputstyle> sets XIM (X Input Method) input style.
