164 If desired, apply the optional patch. In many cases, applications that
165 use this library, either directly or indirectly via other libraries such
166 as <xref linkend="gtk3"/>, output numerous warnings when run from the
167 command line. This patch enables the use of an environment variable,
[2c87187]168 <envar>GLIB_LOG_LEVEL</envar>, that suppresses unwanted messages. The
[d56e7df]169 value of the variable is a digit that corresponds to:
