#include <qstring.h>

/**
  * kDebug provides and advanced mechanism for displaying debugging
  * information to the user.  kDebug works like printf does but takes one
  * or two extra arguments.  If your program is compiled with NDEBUG defined,
  * the calls are rendered useless and your debugging statements
  * hidden from the end-user's view. This doesn't apply to kDebugWarning,
  * kDebugError and kDebugFatal, since those should always been shown to the
  * user.
  *
  *
  * There are two families of functions. The first one allows variable
  * arguments, much like printf or the previous kdebug, and has the notion of
  * level (see below). The second one does not allow variable arguments
  * and only applies to debug info, but adds the filename and line number
  * before the message printed.
  * You can't have both at the same time, for technical reasons
  * (first faimly is functions, second one is macros, which can't have variable
  * arguments since we support non-gcc compilers)
  *
  *
  * A kDebug level determines how important the message being displayed is.
  * The first family of functions define four functions, one for each level :
  *     kDebugInfo
  *       for debug output
  *     kDebugWarning
  *       for when something strange or unexpected happened.
  *     kDebugError
  *       for when an error has occured, but the program can continue.
  *     kDebugFatal
  *       for when a horrific error has happened and the program must stop.
  *
  * The first (and optional) argument is a debug "area".  This "area" tells
  * kDebug where the call to kDebug came from.  The "area" is an unsigned number
  * specified in kdebug.areas ($KDEDIR/share/config/kdebug.areas).  If
  * this number is zero or unspecified, the instance (e.g. application) name
  * will be used.
  *
  * A utility function for printing out "errno" is provided, similar to the
  * POSIX perror() function. It uses the "Error" level: kDebugPError.
  *
  * A separate program with a small configuration dialog box
  * will soon be written, to let one assign actions to each debug level on an
  * area by area basis.
