# disabled

A shared signposter that doesn’t emit signposts at runtime.

## Declaration

```swift
static var disabled: OSSignposter { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion You can use the signposter this property returns to disable signposts in your production builds without having to refactor your code, as the following example demonstrates: let signposter: OSSignposter #if DEBUG signposter = OSSignposter() #else signposter = OSSignposter.disabled #endif To determine if a signposter can emit signposts, use the isEnabled property.
