 * ``` shell

 *
 * There is also a utility called [xdot] which allows you to view the dot file
 * directly without converting it first.
 *
 * The macro is only active if the environment variable `GST_DEBUG_DUMP_DOT_DIR`
 * is set to a basepath (e.g. `/tmp`), and the GStreamer debugging subsystem is
 * enabled (i.e., no use of `./configure --disable-gst-debug`)
