# Library flags

[View source](/point-of-sale/classic-library-deprecation/classic-library-integrations/com-extension-for-windows-integration/key-steps-com-extension/initialize-the-library-com-extension/library-flags.md)

Library Flags offer a level of control to the cash register and are useful for application development and debugging.

## POS Object

| Name  | Description                                            |

| `POS` | POS object representing the cash register application. |

## Method

| Name           | Description                                                                                                                 |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `GetInitFlags` | GetInitFlags allows you to set flags through the COM. We provide this method because you cannot port ENUMs through the COM. |

| `logArea`       | long   | ![-white\_check\_mark-](/user/data/smileys/emoji/white_check_mark.png "-white_check_mark-") | Defines the parts of the logs you can see. As default set this to 0xffff. |
| `comLogConsole` | int    | ![-white\_check\_mark-](/user/data/smileys/emoji/white_check_mark.png "-white_check_mark-") | Set to 1 to show the COM log console, set to 0 to hide it.                |
