The following environment variables control logging from Tracker daemons:
+ * `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG`: controls log output from all GLib-based libraries
+ in the current process. Use `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Tracker` to see Tracker
+ related messages, or `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all` to see everything.
* `TRACKER_DEBUG`: takes a comma-separated list of keywords to enable
extra debugging output. Use the keyword 'help' for a list of keywords.
- * `TRACKER_VERBOSITY`: takes a value of 1, 2 or 3 and causes increasing
- amounts of log output from Tracker code to be written to stdout.
- * `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG`: controls log output from GLib-based libraries that
- are used in the Tracker process. Use `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all` for maximal
- log output.

-Internally, Tracker will set `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Tracker` if `TRACKER_VERBOSITY`
-is set and `G_MESSAGES_DEBUG` is not set, to enable printing of its own log
-messages to stdout.
