[OpenAFS-devel] Fwd: [master] Change Id0a00d99: (openafs) Add output-table to libcmd

[Christof Hanke]

Hi all,

Andrew commented my patch for extending libcmd.a like :

"This is nontrivially extending the scope of what libcmd handles, if I'm not 
mistaken. Do we really want this in libcmd? Not... perhaps util? I thought it 
was desirable to perhaps one day lessen the usage of libcmd..."

I guess this should discussed outside gerrit, so what do you think about it ?

I have no preference. When I wrote the code I felt libcmd was the natural 
place to add a generic tabular output for command-line binaries.

Other extensions to this I'm thinking of  would be a "-human-readable"-flag 
which prints numbers with the suffices kMGT etc. (like "df -h")
