+## Environment variables
+
+This is an overview of the environment variables rustc accepts to customize
+its tracing output. The definition of these can mostly be found in `compiler/rustc_log/src/lib.rs`.

+| `RUSTC_LOG_ENTRY_EXIT`    | if set and not '0', log span entry/exit.                                                                                |
+| `RUSTC_LOG_THREAD_IDS`    | if set and equal to '1', also log thread ids.                                                                           |
+| `RUSTC_LOG_BACKTRACE`     | Capture and print a backtrace if a trace is emitted with a target that matches the provided string value.               |
+| `RUSTC_LOG_LINES`         | If `1`, indents log lines based on depth.                                                                               |
+| `RUSTC_LOG_FORMAT_JSON`   | If `1`, outputs logs as JSON. The exact parameters can be found in `rustc_log/src/lib.rs` but the format is *UNSTABLE*. |
+| `RUSTC_LOG_OUTPUT_TARGET` | If provided, logs go to the provided file name instead of stderr.                                                       |
