"Setting Flags" section should explicitly mention FLAGS_ prefix #70

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
In this doc: http://google-glog.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/glog.html

The "Setting Flags" section tells how to change settings like "logtostderr" 
from the command line or environment variables, but not from within the code 
itself.  If I didn't already know about gflags, I wouldn't have known to write 
this in my C++ code:

  FLAGS_logtostderr = true;

Please update the doc to give explicit examples of how to change these settings 
from the code (and mention whether they should happen before or after 
InitGoogleLogging).

I was just about to complain about this myself. I spent a good 5 - 10 minutes 
trying to figure out how to do this just to find myself searching through 
source thinking that there *must* be a way. Surely enough there was, it's just 
not documented. 

Is this method for some reason looked down upon?
