Subject: [PATCH net-next 7/7] tools: ynl: cli: print reply in combined format if possible
Date: Fri,  9 Jan 2026 13:17:56 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260109211756.3342477-8-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260109211756.3342477-1-kuba@kernel.org>

As pointed out during review of the --list-attrs support the GET
ops very often return the same attrs from do and dump. Make the
output more readable by combining the reply information, from:

  Do request attributes:
    - ifindex: u32
      netdev ifindex

  Do reply attributes:
    - ifindex: u32
      netdev ifindex
    [ .. other attrs .. ]

  Dump reply attributes:
    - ifindex: u32
      netdev ifindex
    [ .. other attrs .. ]

To, after:

  Do request attributes:
    - ifindex: u32
      netdev ifindex

  Do and Dump reply attributes:
    - ifindex: u32
      netdev ifindex
    [ .. other attrs .. ]
