[libfabric-users] How to enable FI_DBG printing

[Hefty, Sean]

Set FI_LOG_LEVEL=debug

or info, warn, etc.

It's not obvious where to look for this, but see "LOGGING INTERFACE" section from the fabric.7 man page

> Hi,Libfabric gives users FI_DBG/FI_INFO/FI_TRACE/FI_WARN (based on fi_log, which is

> FI_LOG_EP_CTRL, “FI_DBG-Testing: rxm_get_conn\n”);) in rxm_get_conn() in rxm_conn.c and
> recompile the libfabric’s source code by ‘make; make install’.However, when running
