+#### Debug output
+
+Control code 6 switches all text output (except codes 4 and 5 to switch output back to the screen) to the console. Where exactly this ends
+up (if at all) is an implementation detail of the runtimes. The native dev-runtime writes the debug output to `stdout`, the web runtime to
+the debug console using `console.log`. Both implementation buffer the output until they encounter a newline character (10) in the output stream.
+
+There may be future runtimes that ignore the debug output completely.
+
+In CurlyWas, a simple way to log some value might look like this:
+```
+printChar('\06V: '); // switch to console out, print some prefix
+printInt(some_value);
+printChar('\n\4'); // newline and switch back to screen
+```
+
 ### fn printChar(char: i32)
 
 Prints the character in the lower 8 bits of `char`. If the upper 24 bits are non-zero, right-shifts `char` by 8 bits and loops back to the beginning.
