The log file shows what happened while A-A-P was executing.  Often you can
figure out what went wrong by looking at the messages.
</p><p>
The log file is named "AAPDIR/log".
It is located in the directory of the main recipe.  If you executed aap again
and now want to see the previous log, it is named "AAPDIR/log1".  Older logs
are "AAPDIR/log2", "AAPDIR/log3", etc.  This goes up to
"AAPDIR/log9".
</p><h2><a name="id2658352"></a>Messages</h2><p>
  The kind of messages given can be changed with the
  <a href="ref-variables.html#var-message">MESSAGE</a> variable.  It is a
comma separated list of message types for which the message is displayed.
Other messages are still written in the log file.
</p><div class="informaltable"><table border="0"><colgroup><col width="150"><col></colgroup><thead><tr><th>name</th><th>display message for</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>all</td><td>everything</td></tr><tr><td>error</td><td>errors (<span class="application">Aap</span> cannot continue)</td></tr><tr><td>warning</td><td>warnings (things that are wrong but <span class="application">Aap</span> can still continue)</td></tr><tr><td>note</td><td>notes (warnings about things that are probably OK)</td></tr><tr><td>depend</td><td>dependencies, the reasoning about what to build</td></tr><tr><td>info</td><td>general info (file copy/delete, up/downloads)</td></tr><tr><td>extra</td><td>extra info (why something was done)</td></tr><tr><td>system</td><td>system (shell) commands that are executed</td></tr><tr><td>result</td><td>the result of system (shell) commands</td></tr><tr><td>changedir</td><td>changing directories</td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>
The command line arguments "-v" and "-s" can be used to make the most often
used selections:

</p><div class="informaltable"><table border="0"><colgroup><col width="150"><col></colgroup><thead><tr><th><span class="application">Aap</span> argument</th><th>$MESSAGE value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>(nothing)</td><td>error,warning,system,info</td></tr><tr><td><a href="ref-arguments.html#option-verbose">-v</a></td><td>all</td></tr><tr><td><a href="ref-arguments.html#option-verbose">--verbose</a></td><td>all</td></tr><tr><td><a href="ref-arguments.html#option-silent">-s</a></td><td>error</td></tr><tr><td><a href="ref-arguments.html#option-silent">--silent</a></td><td>error</td></tr></tbody></table></div><p>
</p><p>
Other values can be assigned at the command line.  For example, to only see
error and dependency messages:

</p><div class="literallayout"><p>        aap MESSAGE=error,depend  (other arguments)<br>
</p></div><p>
</p><p>
Don't forget that excluding "error" means that no error messages are displayed!
</p><p>
No matter what messages are displayed, all messages are written in the log
file.  This can be used afterwards to see what actually happened.
