With the recent comment regarding the pending rc, I'd like to make two small string changes before we send them off for translation. During this cycle all of hwclock usage strings have been changed, but I still do not like the debug description. I looked at what the other utils are using; there are only two others with a debug option and their strings are no better for hwclock, IMO. So I looked at usage strings for the verbose option. In 27 occurrences there are 15 different descriptions. The most recent one, written by Karel, I think is good for both debug (except uuidd) and verbose (it could be made a usage constant to reduce 17 strings to 1). It is: "display more details" The second change was the subject of a long discussion which ended without a consensus. My last volley went unanswered: https://marc.info/?l=util-linux-ng&m=150124890123757&w=2 So this patch also makes the usage constants for help and version use the same verb; which Karel originally said was an improvement: https://marc.info/?l=util-linux-ng&m=149794873321562&w=2 CURRENT DEBUG AND VERBOSE USAGE STRINGS. ldattach.c: -d, --debug print verbose messages to stderr hwclock.c: -D, --debug use debug mode uuidd.c: -d, --debug run in debugging mode setarch.c: -v, --verbose say what options are being switched on ipcrm.c: -v, --verbose explain what is being done swapon.c: -v, --verbose verbose mode swapoff.c: -v, --verbose verbose mode chmem.c: -v, --verbose verbose output mount.c: -v, --verbose say what is being done eject.c: -v, --verbose enable verbose output readprofile.c: -v, --verbose print verbose data fstrim.c: -v, --verbose print number of discarded bytes prlimit.c: --verbose verbose output losetup.c: -v, --verbose verbose mode umount.c: -v, --verbose say what is being done fallocate.c: -v, --verbose verbose mode blkzone.c: -v, --verbose display more details blkdiscard.c: -v, --verbose print aligned length and offset rtcwake.c: -v, --verbose verbose messages rename.c: -v, --verbose explain what is being done mcookie.c: -v, --verbose explain what is being done chrt.c: -v, --verbose display status information mesg.c: -v, --verbose explain what is being done mkfs.bfs.c: -v, --verbose explain what is being done fsck.minix.c: -v, --verbose be verbose mkfs.c: -v be verbose mkfs.c: -V, --verbose explain what is being done; blockdev.c: -v verbose mode fsck.c: -v, --verbose be more verbose partx.c: -v, --verbose verbose mode J William Piggott (1): hwclock: update usage() include/c.h | 2 +- sys-utils/hwclock.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) -- 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
