Suppressing UHD prints

GNU Radio
1

Hi all,

UHD host library generates prints on the stdout. For example on each
retune I get something like:

– Tune Request: 959.000000 MHz
– The RF LO does not support the requested frequency:
– Requested LO Frequency: 959.000000 MHz
– RF LO Result: 958.998779 MHz
– Attempted to use the DSP to reach the requested frequency:
– Desired DSP Frequency: -0.001221 MHz
– DSP Result: -0.001221 MHz
– Successfully tuned to 959.000000 MHz

These prints are sometimes cluttering the console - especially when
someone wants to use console to print other useful information.

There is possibility to disable them in UHD from the level of C++:
http://files.ettus.com/manual/page_general.html
(“Disabling or redirecting prints to stdout”)

Is it possible to disable the prints from GNU Radio?

Best Regards,
Piotr K.

I had looked into that some time ago. In the current form it is not
possible.

Even if ’ uhd::msg::register_handler’ would be exposed to python, you
still can’t drop-in your own null-handler. Swig doesn’t support
callbacks in the target language (python). However, you can add custom
handlers like a null_handler in C++ and then use that. Try the attached
patch. Works for me. Only output left is that standard version_string.
