xcvradm could use parseable output #105

Description

@bnaecker

Many illumos tools support a parseable mode, in which the output is regularly-structured and meant for machine consumption. Rather than nicely-printed tables, output is formatted with a single, often configurable, separator character. xcvradm could benefit from such a mode. Flags to implement include:

  • -p or --parseable: select parseable mode, over human-friendly formatting
  • -s or --separator: select the separator character
  • -o or similar: the list of fields to include in the output. It's also nice to print a list of the available fields, in lieu of a man page.
  • -H or --no-header: do not print headers for the selected columns
