So, how about the patch below in order to fix the issue Faisan brought up for lspcu? >From 0f0f80b71e90b6ab58d9f6009b8356bb42235916 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2012 10:52:47 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] lscpu: limit options --all, --online, --offline to parsable and extended output Passing the --all, --online or --offline options for the output summary doesn't make much sense. It should be limited to the two list output options.
