For the level we would need to track the level state.

Also, we now support
-D
LTP_ENABLE_DEBUG=y (or n to disable)

Now, user would have to always use '-D1' or '-D2' to get logging or not use
getopts. IMHO getopts does not support both '-D' (without value) and '-D1' (with
value).

IMHO that's why ssh supports multiple '-v', e.g. '-v -v -v' or '-vvv' instead of
-v2 or -v3).

Anyway I'd prefer solving this somehow in the code so that users don't have to
bother about log levels, but I have no idea how. Maybe yet another enum
tst_res_flags member? Because aa5a6fcdcd skipped messages, which are likely
useful when run by child process (the test), but not by library process. And I
want to print message which is always run by library process. Maybe to have some
#define in source code, which would force logging even for library process? (not
sure what will be needed more often).

But sure, this would work if there no other way to detect these 2 cases.

OT we have:

in tst_test.c:

	if (context->tdebug)
		tst_res(TINFO, "Restored metadata for PID %d", getpid());

=> shouldn't it use TDEBUG instead of TINFO?

Kind regards,
Petr
