<h1>Environment Variables</h1>

<p>
Normally, no environment variables need to be set.  Most of the environment
variables used by Mesa/Gallium are for debugging purposes, but they can
sometimes be useful for debugging end-user issues.
</p>


<h2>LibGL environment variables</h2>

<dl>
<dt><code>LIBGL_DEBUG</code></dt>
<dd>If defined debug information will be printed to stderr.
    If set to <code>verbose</code> additional information will be
    printed.</dd>
<dt><code>LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH</code></dt>
<dd>colon-separated list of paths to search for DRI drivers</dd>
<dt><code>LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT</code></dt>
<dd>if set to <code>true</code>, forces an indirect rendering
    context/connection.</dd>
<dt><code>LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE</code></dt>
<dd>if set to <code>true</code>, always use software rendering</dd>
<dt><code>LIBGL_NO_DRAWARRAYS</code></dt>
<dd>if set to <code>true</code>, do not use DrawArrays GLX protocol
    (for debugging)</dd>
<dt><code>LIBGL_SHOW_FPS</code></dt>
<dd>print framerate to stdout based on the number of
    <code>glXSwapBuffers</code> calls per second.</dd>
<dt><code>LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE</code></dt>
<dd>disable DRI3 if set to <code>true</code>.</dd>
</dl>

<h2>Core Mesa environment variables</h2>

<dl>
<dt><code>MESA_NO_ASM</code></dt>
<dd>if set, disables all assembly language optimizations</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_NO_MMX</code></dt>
<dd>if set, disables Intel MMX optimizations</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_NO_3DNOW</code></dt>
<dd>if set, disables AMD 3DNow! optimizations</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_NO_SSE</code></dt>
<dd>if set, disables Intel SSE optimizations</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_NO_ERROR</code></dt>
<dd>if set to 1, error checking is disabled as per <code>KHR_no_error</code>.
    This will result in undefined behaviour for invalid use of the api, but
    can reduce CPU use for apps that are known to be error free.</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_DEBUG</code></dt>
<dd>if set, error messages are printed to stderr.  For example,
    if the application generates a <code>GL_INVALID_ENUM</code> error, a
    corresponding error message indicating where the error occurred, and
    possibly why, will be printed to stderr. For release builds,
    <code>MESA_DEBUG</code> defaults to off (no debug output).
    <code>MESA_DEBUG</code> accepts the following comma-separated list of
    named flags, which adds extra behaviour to just set
    <code>MESA_DEBUG=1</code>:
    <dl>
      <dt><code>silent</code></dt>
      <dd>turn off debug messages. Only useful for debug builds.</dd>
      <dt><code>flush</code></dt>
      <dd>flush after each drawing command</dd>
      <dt><code>incomplete_tex</code></dt>
      <dd>extra debug messages when a texture is incomplete</dd>
      <dt><code>incomplete_fbo</code></dt>
      <dd>extra debug messages when a fbo is incomplete</dd>
      <dt><code>context</code></dt>
      <dd>create a debug context (see <code>GLX_CONTEXT_DEBUG_BIT_ARB</code>)
          and print error and performance messages to stderr (or
          <code>MESA_LOG_FILE</code>).</dd>
    </dl>
</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_LOG_FILE</code></dt>
<dd>specifies a file name for logging all errors, warnings,
    etc., rather than stderr</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_TEX_PROG</code></dt>
<dd>if set, implement conventional texture env modes with
    fragment programs (intended for developers only)</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_TNL_PROG</code></dt>
<dd>if set, implement conventional vertex transformation operations with
    vertex programs (intended for developers only). Setting this variable
    automatically sets the <code>MESA_TEX_PROG</code> variable as well.</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE</code></dt>
<dd>can be used to enable/disable extensions. A value such as
    <code>GL_EXT_foo -GL_EXT_bar</code> will enable the
    <code>GL_EXT_foo</code> extension and disable the
    <code>GL_EXT_bar</code> extension.</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR</code></dt>
<dd>The <code>GL_EXTENSIONS</code> string returned by Mesa is sorted by
    extension year. If this variable is set to year X, only extensions
    defined on or before year X will be reported. This is to work-around a
    bug in some games where the extension string is copied into a fixed-size
    buffer without truncating. If the extension string is too long, the
    buffer overrun can cause the game to crash. This is a work-around for
    that.</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE</code></dt>
<dd>changes the value returned by
<code>glGetString(GL_VERSION)</code> and possibly the GL API type.
<ul>
  <li>The format should be <code>MAJOR.MINOR[FC|COMPAT]</code>
  <li><code>FC</code> is an optional suffix that indicates a forward
      compatible context. This is only valid for versions &gt;= 3.0.
  <li><code>COMPAT</code> is an optional suffix that indicates a
      compatibility context or <code>GL_ARB_compatibility</code> support.
      This is only valid for versions &gt;= 3.1.
  <li>GL versions &lt;= 3.0 are set to a compatibility (non-Core)
      profile
  <li>GL versions = 3.1, depending on the driver, it may or may not
      have the <code>ARB_compatibility</code> extension enabled.
  <li>GL versions &gt;= 3.2 are set to a Core profile
  <li>Examples:
  <dl>
    <dt><code>2.1</code></dt>
    <dd>select a compatibility (non-Core) profile with GL version 2.1.</dd>
    <dt><code>3.0</code></dt>
    <dd>select a compatibility (non-Core) profile with GL version 3.0.</dd>
    <dt><code>3.0FC</code></dt>
    <dd>select a Core+Forward Compatible profile with GL version 3.0.</dd>
    <dt><code>3.1</code></dt>
    <dd>select GL version 3.1 with <code>GL_ARB_compatibility</code>
        enabled per the driver default.</dd>
    <dt><code>3.1FC</code></dt>
    <dd>select GL version 3.1 with forward compatibility and
        <code>GL_ARB_compatibility</code> disabled.</dd>
    <dt><code>3.1COMPAT</code></dt>
    <dd>select GL version 3.1 with <code>GL_ARB_compatibility</code>
        enabled.</dd>
    <dt><code>X.Y</code></dt>
    <dd>override GL version to X.Y without changing the profile.</dd>
    <dt><code>X.YFC</code></dt>
    <dd>select a Core+Forward Compatible profile with GL version X.Y.</dd>
    <dt><code>X.YCOMPAT</code></dt>
    <dd>select a Compatibility profile with GL version X.Y.</dd>
  </dl>
  <li>Mesa may not really implement all the features of the given
      version. (for developers only)
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_GLES_VERSION_OVERRIDE</code></dt>
<dd>changes the value returned by <code>glGetString(GL_VERSION)</code>
    for OpenGL ES.
<ul>
<li> The format should be <code>MAJOR.MINOR</code>
<li> Examples: <code>2.0</code>, <code>3.0</code>, <code>3.1</code>
<li> Mesa may not really implement all the features of the given version.
(for developers only)
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE</code></dt>
<dd>changes the value returned by
    <code>glGetString(GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION)</code>.
    Valid values are integers, such as <code>130</code>.  Mesa will not
    really implement all the features of the given language version if
    it's higher than what's normally reported. (for developers only)
</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_GLSL_CACHE_DISABLE</code></dt>
<dd>if set to <code>true</code>, disables the GLSL shader cache</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_GLSL_CACHE_MAX_SIZE</code></dt>
<dd>if set, determines the maximum size of the on-disk cache of compiled GLSL
    programs. Should be set to a number optionally followed by <code>K</code>,
    <code>M</code>, or <code>G</code> to specify a size in kilobytes,
    megabytes, or gigabytes. By default, gigabytes will be assumed. And if
    unset, a maximum size of 1GB will be used. Note: A separate cache might
    be created for each architecture that Mesa is installed for on your
    system. For example under the default settings you may end up with a 1GB
    cache for x86_64 and another 1GB cache for i386.</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_GLSL_CACHE_DIR</code></dt>
<dd>if set, determines the directory to be used for the on-disk cache of
    compiled GLSL programs. If this variable is not set, then the cache will
    be stored in <code>$XDG_CACHE_HOME/mesa_shader_cache</code> (if that
    variable is set), or else within <code>.cache/mesa_shader_cache</code>
    within the user's home directory.
</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_GLSL</code></dt>
<dd><a href="shading.html#envvars">shading language compiler options</a></dd>
<dt><code>MESA_NO_MINMAX_CACHE</code></dt>
<dd>when set, the minmax index cache is globally disabled.</dd>
<dt><code>MESA_SHADER_CAPTURE_PATH</code></dt>
<dd>see <a href="shading.html#capture">Capturing Shaders</a></dd>
<dt><code>MESA_SHADER_DUMP_PATH</code> and <code>MESA_SHADER_READ_PATH</code></dt>
<dd>see <a href="shading.html#replacement">Experimenting with Shader Replacements</a></dd>
<dt><code>MESA_VK_VERSION_OVERRIDE</code></dt>
<dd>changes the Vulkan physical device version
    as returned in <code>VkPhysicalDeviceProperties::apiVersion</code>.
  <ul>
    <li>The format should be <code>MAJOR.MINOR[.PATCH]</code></li>
    <li>This will not let you force a version higher than the driver's
        instance versionas advertised by
        <code>vkEnumerateInstanceVersion</code></li>
    <li>This can be very useful for debugging but some features may not be
        implemented correctly. (For developers only)</li>
  </ul>
