Would be better to use it as a real enums? I know that it means that for "delta" we need more types, but it's probably better than assume arbitrary combination of all the types. enum { DMESG_TIMEFTM_NONE = 0 DMESG_TIMEFTM_TIME, /* [time] */ DMESG_TIMEFTM_CTIME, /* [ctime] */ DMESG_TIMEFTM_CTIME_DELTA, /* [ctime <delta>] */ DMESG_TIMEFTM_TIME_DELTA, /* [time <delta>] */ DMESG_TIMEFTM_DELTA, /* [<delta>] */ DMESG_TIMEFTM_RELTIME /* [relative] */ }; and all you need is to set any default (DMESG_TIMEFTM_TIME) and clear the default if --notime is specified. In the code you can check for "if (ctl->time_fmt)" or add #define is_timefmt(c, f) (c->time_fmt == (TIMEFTM_ ##f)) and use if (is_timefmt(ctl, DELTA)) Karel -- Karel Zak <kzak@xxxxxxxxxx> http://karelzak.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
