# Environment variables
ty defines and respects the following environment variables:
### `TY_LOG`
If set, ty will use this value as the log level for its `--verbose` output.
Accepts any filter compatible with the `tracing_subscriber` crate.
For example:
- `TY_LOG=uv=debug` is the equivalent of `-vv` to the command line
- `TY_LOG=trace` will enable all trace-level logging.
See the [tracing documentation](https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/latest/tracing_subscriber/filter/struct.EnvFilter.html#example-syntax)
for more.
### `TY_LOG_PROFILE`
If set to `"1"` or `"true"`, ty will enable flamegraph profiling.
This creates a `tracing.folded` file that can be used to generate flame graphs
for performance analysis.
### `TY_MAX_PARALLELISM`
Specifies an upper limit for the number of tasks ty is allowed to run in parallel.
For example, how many files should be checked in parallel.
This isn't the same as a thread limit. ty may spawn additional threads
when necessary, e.g. to watch for file system changes or a dedicated UI thread.
## Externally-defined variables
ty also reads the following externally defined environment variables:
### `CONDA_PREFIX`
Used to detect an activated Conda environment location.
If both `VIRTUAL_ENV` and `CONDA_PREFIX` are present, `VIRTUAL_ENV` will be preferred.
### `RAYON_NUM_THREADS`
Specifies an upper limit for the number of threads ty uses when performing work in parallel.
Equivalent to `TY_MAX_PARALLELISM`.
This is a standard Rayon environment variable.
### `VIRTUAL_ENV`
Used to detect an activated virtual environment.
### `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`
Path to user-level configuration directory on Unix systems.
