Is there a method to sanity check what --log-file is currently configured for the current session?

We're doing some sanity testing for some log files missing in our tests and I just want a quick means of confirming what log file is configured for the current session.

It would be nice to have this spelled out up front in the opening block

============================= test session starts ==============================
platform linux -- Python 3.11.13, pytest-7.4.4, pluggy-1.3.0 -- ... python3.11/python
cachedir: .pytest_cache
metadata: {'Python': '3.11.13', 'Platform': ...
rootdir: /home/USERX/.cache/bazel/_bazel_workspace_foo/...
configfile: pytest.ini
logfile: /home/USERX/pytest_debug.log <---------------- how to get something like this setup??

well I suppose I could avoid capturing stdout in pytest and just do something basic like

print(f'--log-file={request.config.getoption("--log-file")}')

is there a means for the user to add to the collection of initial config reporting that follows test session starts?

def pytest_report_header(config):
    lines = []
    log_file = config.getoption("--log-file")
    if log_file:
        lines.append(f"log-file: {log_file}")
    
    custom_thing = config.getoption("--my-custom-opt", None)
    if custom_thing:
        lines.append(f"custom-opt: {custom_thing}")
    
    return lines

figured it out! Nice hooks

def pytest_report_header(config):
    log_file = config.getoption("--log-file")
    if log_file:
        return  [f"log-file: {log_file}"]
