[Hamlib-developer] Extra functions vs. extra CHECKBUTTON levels

[Stefan J. <DK...@da...>]

Hi dear hamlib project team,

When reviewing the output of —dump-caps of some rigs, also the dummy rig has this, I saw that there are sometimes extra levels of type CHECKBUTTON. Thosr can, as far as I understand, have just values 0 and 1. 

If the above is true, then I do not understand why someone would implement such a 0-1-level, as there are already extra functions that have exactly that states, namely 0 or 1, off and on. 

Could you please explain the idea behind having those kind of CHECKBUTTON extra levels and not implementing them just as extra functions?
