Subject: iproute2 - one line mode should be deprecated?
Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2022 10:13:18 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221209101318.2c1b1359@hermes.local> (raw)
The one line output mode of iproute2 commands was invented before I was involved.
It looks like the only real usage is for scripts to consume the output of commands.
Now that JSON is supported, the one line mode is just lingering technical debt.
Does anyone still use oneline mode?
Could it be removed in some future version of iproute?
There are still output format bugs in oneline, and some missing bits
of JSON support as well.
