[PATCH] badblocks: Add options for parseable status output

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



(2nd attempt submitting this patch due to white space issues):

Add new command line arguments for badblocks utility:   
    -a alarm_interval       
    -P

alarm_interval controls the frequency of the status update output.
-P makes the output more parseable by external programs (comma separated,
LF terminated)
