I have renovated the i2c(8) program and while I belive all argument processing is 100% compatible, various undocumented aspects of the program may have changed, amongst these precisely what goes to stdout and stderr. Apologies if this breaks any of your scripts. <bikeshed> There is one aspect of this program which I have not changed, but which bugs me utterly: All arguments are in hex, except [-c count] which is decimal. My personal preference would be if all the arguments called strtoul(3) with zero third argument, so that users can use decimal, octal or hex as they prefer, but I fear that would break pretty much every single script. Alternatively [-c count] could be changed to be hex like the rest. </bikeshed> -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk_at_FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.Received on Thu May 13 2021 - 10:10:05 UTC
