Subject line says lsblk that already has display all columns option: -O, --output-all output all columns In message body you are talking about blockdev, that has it's place but lsblk is better reporting tool. Assuming lsblk does not list something blockdev can then I recommend adding that to lsblk. That said --allcols proposal has a point. Right now various tools that use smartcols has the options listed below. Perhaps --output-all should be part of these. -J, --json use JSON output format -n, --noheadings don't print headings -o, --output <list> COLUMNS to display (see below) -r, --raw use the raw output format If I see right the --output-all could be added to these utilities: fdisk, fincore, findmnt, losetup, lscpu, lsipc, lslocks, lslogins, lsmem, lsns, partx, prlimit, rfkill, sfdisk, swapon, uuidparse, wdctl, wipefs, and zramctl. -- Sami Kerola http://www.iki.fi/kerolasa/ -- 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
