# Lib-Debug
Debug library is a library developed to help debugging session, it can be used to generate debug output to the console or to a one or more files, both debug output can use ANSI colors or plain text.
Debug library can manage one or more debug channels so that you are able to switch on or off single channels and reduce the amount of output to analyze, this is very useful for complex programs involving several includes or libraries.
If you have an ANSI capable terminal debug messages can be colored to help you identify errors and warning in no time.
Debug library has the ability to show nested messages, this is incredibly useful when you have recursive functions and external library calls: without a proper output formatting a standard debug session could become a pain.
You can output tables too, and they are formatted and idented properly to let you look easily at their contents.
CONTENTS
:: CONSOLE DEBUG ::
DBG.Console.AddChannel()
DBG.Console.Disable()
DBG.Console.Enable()
DBG.Console.Out()
DBG.Console.RemoveChannel()
DBG.Console.SkipNormalLevel()
:: FILE DEBUG ::

DBG.Log.Out()
:: MISC ::
DBG.DumpTable()
# Lib-ANSI
Ansi library is an include file for Hollywood that will help you to manage ANSI escape codes so you can print colored text in the console of your host system.
I’ve developed this library to have an invaluable help while I’m debugging applications because this way I’m able to spot on the fly errors and/or warning messages that are hilighted from the rest of the messages.
Of course you need that your host system console is able to understand ANSI ascape codes, but almost any OS is able to do that… except Windows!
For the Windows OS you need to install any thirdy party application to accomplish the task, on my development machine, running
Windows 10, I’m using ansicon program to make use of ANSI codes.
