Usage: mdns-browser [OPTIONS]
Options:
-l, --log-level <LOG_LEVEL> [default: info] [possible values: trace, debug, info, warn, error]
-f, --log-to-file Enable logging to file
-d, --disable-dmabuf-renderer Disable dmabuf renderer, useful when having rendering issues
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
If enabled, a log file will be created in a platform-specific location:
- Windows:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\com.github.hrzlgnm.mdns-browser\logs - Linux:
$XDG_DATA_HOME/com.github.hrzlgnm.mdns-browser/logsor$HOME/.local/share/com.github.hrzlgnm.mdns-browser/logs - macOS:
~/Library/Logs/com.github.hrzlgnm.mdns-browser
The log file will be named mdns-browser.log and will contain log messages with a log-level having at least a level specified by the log-level option.
This option disables the dmabuf renderer, which is used to improve performance on Linux. If you experience rendering issues, you can try disabling this option to see if it resolves the problem.
This option has been added with release v0.12.0
