The --show-delta is off by default, which means it can be only on when user has requested to see these time stamps. The --notime option should not turn the delta outputing off, because then option order matters and no-one wants that. Example of the old output: $ dmesg --notime --show-delta | sed -n 's/ version.*//p; q' [< 0.000000>] Linux $ dmesg --show-delta --notime | sed -n 's/ version.*//p; q' Linux Addresses: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1544595 Signed-off-by: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@xxxxxx> --- sys-utils/dmesg.c | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/sys-utils/dmesg.c b/sys-utils/dmesg.c index 99cf26e..cf93331 100644 --- a/sys-utils/dmesg.c +++ b/sys-utils/dmesg.c @@ -1363,7 +1363,6 @@ int main(int argc, char *argv[]) break; case 't': ctl.time_fmt = DMESG_TIMEFTM_NONE; - delta = 0; break; case 'u': ctl.fltr_fac = 1; -- 2.8.0 -- 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
