h1. Rawlog Dialog

!rawlog.png!

The Rawlog dialog is used to debug AdiIRC and/or monitor raw IRC messages from/to IRC servers.

Rawlog can be opened from Menubar -> File -> Rawlog or by typing [[/rawlog]].

The rawlog will automatically re-open if it was open the last time AdiIRC was closed.

By default only new debug/raw messages will be added, a buffer can be kept in memory by typing [[/setoption]] Misc RawlogBuffer N .. where N is the number of lines to keep. (setting N to 0 disables the buffer)

_See also [[/rawlog]], [[/debug]]._

*Debug tab*

The debug tab in the right listbox shows AdiIRC debug data.

*Server tabs*

Each open server will have it's own tab in the listbox, it will list all incoming/outgoing raw IRC messages from/to the IRC server.

It can be useful for finding out if raw messages are being sent/received properly.

Outgoing messages are marked with the *<notextile>-></notextile>* prefix, and incoming messages are marked with the *<<notextile>-</notextile>* prefix.
