# OAI console logging facility

oai includes a console logging facility that any component should use when writting informational or debugging messages to the softmodem or uesoftmodem stdout stream.
By default, this facility is included at build-time and activated at run-time. The T Tracer and the Logging facility share common options for activation:

-   To disable the logging facility (and T Tracer) at build-time use the *--disable-T-Tracer* switch:

```bash
/build_oai --disable-T-Tracer
```
-  To use the the T-Tracer, use the command line option *T_stdout*. When set to 0, it disables the console logging facility. All stdout messages are then sent to the T-Tracer. When set to 1 (the default), the logs are output to the linux console and no T trace is generated. When set to 2 both console logging and T traces are activated.
