Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next 2/2] dpll: monitor: add -t/--timestamp and --tshort options
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 15:52:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512135225.167158-2-poros@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260512135225.167158-1-poros@redhat.com>
Bring dpll monitor in line with the rest of iproute2 by allowing each
received notification to be prefixed with a wall-clock timestamp.
-t / --timestamp emit a separate "Timestamp:" line before each event,
using the default text form of print_timestamp()
(matches ip / bridge / tc -t monitor)
--tshort emit a compact ISO 8601 prefix
"[YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.uuuuuu]" inline instead
(matches ip -ts monitor)
When combined with -j, the timestamp shows up as a "timestamp" /
"timestamp_short" field on each notification object, the same way
ip -j -t mptcp monitor integrates the helper.
The flag is parsed globally but only consulted from the monitor
callback, so passing -t to non-monitor commands is a no-op.
--tshort has no short alias, so its long_options entry uses an
identifier above the ASCII range (OPT_TSHORT = 256) following the
iproute2 convention used in misc/ss.c, instead of consuming an
ASCII letter that could later collide with a real short option.
