131 If desired, apply the optional patch. In many cases, applications that
132 use this library, either directly or indirectly via other libraries such
133 as <xref linkend="gtk3"/>, output numerous warnings when run from the
134 command line. This patch enables the use of an environment variable,
135 <envar>GLIB_LOG_LEVEL</envar>, that supresses unwanted messages. The
136 value of the variable is a digit that corresponds to:
