/engineDebugOutput number

-

Specifies how WinBoard should handle unsolicited output from the engine, with respect to saing it in the debug file. The output is further (hopefully) ignored. If number=0, WinBoard refrains from writing such spurious output to the debug file. If number=1, all engine output is written faithfully to the debug file. If number=2, any protocol-violating line is prefixed with a ‘#’ character, as the engine itself should have done if it wanted to submit info for inclusion in the debug file.

This option is provided for the benefit of applications that use the debug file as a source of information, such as the broadcaster of live games TLCV / TLCS. Such applications can be protected from spurious engine output that might otherwise confuse them.
