 source code for "DEFINE_" to see a complete list of all flags.
 
+<p>You can also modify flag values in your program by modifying global

+the flags related to destination files. For example, you might want to
+set <code>FLAGS_log_dir</code> before

+<pre>
+   LOG(INFO) << "file";
+   // Most flags work immediately after updating values.
+   FLAGS_logtostderr = 1;
+   LOG(INFO) << "stderr";
+   FLAGS_logtostderr = 0;
+   // This won't change the log destination. If you want to set this
+   // value, you should do this before google::InitGoogleLogging .
+   FLAGS_log_dir = "/some/log/directory";
+   LOG(INFO) << "the same file";
