sorry for the bad communication, and the last email with no cc:. this is what I was proposing. opcontrol init opcontrol start opcontrol reset ... opcontrol setup --someopt=something --someopt2=blah see? why the need for opcontrol --init. what do the dashes give you. you arent disambiguating between any files on the command line. All I have to do is alias opcontrol=op and I'm rocking. cvs/route/ifconfig/rcscripts all take commands as the first item and dont need those annoying, stretching dashes (for mode commands at least), and I keep my fingers on home row :) >From: John Levon <le...@mo...> >To: Kambo Lohan <ka...@ho...> >CC: opr...@li... >Subject: Re: mandatory long options as commands are quite annoying >Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2003 01:34:06 +0000 > >On Tue, Mar 04, 2003 at 08:23:54PM -0500, Kambo Lohan wrote: > > > op_dump and instead have to type all this opcontrol --what-i-want stuff. > >We'll take patches for short-form arguments for every opcontrol option. >How do you plan to encode --ctr0-event in a short form ?

Remove the -- from doc and let -- option handled for a few month (add a warning in opcontrol if we see --option). Ok unless I miss some ambiguities for opcontrol ? regards, Phil |
