Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] tools/rtla: Replace osnoise_hist_usage("...") with fatal("...")
Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2025 11:27:38 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251011082738.173670-6-costa.shul@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251011082738.173670-1-costa.shul@redhat.com>
A long time ago, when the usage help was short, it was a favor
to the user to show it on error. Now that the usage help has
become very long, it is too noisy to dump the complete help text
for each typo after the error message itself.
Replace osnoise_hist_usage("...") with fatal("...") on errors.
Remove the already unused 'usage' argument from osnoise_hist_usage().
Signed-off-by: Costa Shulyupin <costa.shul@redhat.com>

Changes since v1:
- fatal() prints "\n" insteasd of caller as suggested Crystal Wood
