Abort the program if any messages are logged at the specified level or higher. For example, "warning" aborts on any "warning", "critical", or "error" messages.
- --log-domains <list>
Only print messages for the specified log domains, e.g. "GUI,Epan,sshdump". List of domains must be comma-separated.
- --log-debug <list>
Force the specified domains to log at the "debug" level. List of domains must be comma-separated.
- --log-noisy <list>
Force the specified domains to log at the "noisy" level. List of domains must be comma-separated.
- --log-file <path>
Write log messages and stderr output to the specified file.
