Uh,

I'm looking at this in the source below in sysdep/unix/log.c
and it looks like it is there.  I assume you want "mrtdump protocols
messages"
The manual for Global options it says this:

mrtdump "filename"
Set MRTdump file name. This option must be specified to allow MRTdump
feature. Default: no dump file.

mrtdump protocols all|off|{ states, messages }
Set global defaults of MRTdump options. See mrtdump in the following
section. Default: off.
