Hi Clark and John, I'd like to streamline all tools, so that the usage, command arguments and the output is more consistent. Every tool seems to be a bit different which makes all automatization around the tools more complex than needed. Eventually, I'd like to add an easy machine parseable output from all tools. So what do you think? Stupid effort, go away? Here are a bunch of patches to illustrate what I mean. Before invest too much time I'd like to discuss it, e.g. format.
