Description Denys Vlasenko 2011-04-08 14:42:16 UTC 
abrt-cli -i needs -o elem1,elem2,elem3 option which tells which elements to
show, and/or -O elem1,elem2,elem3 option which tells elements to NOT
show. Rationale: abrt-cli -i --full output is way too long because of
smaps, need a way to suppress unneeded elements display.

For me it's easier to use grep/egrep to filter (un)wanted fields than to remember option, format and field names to filter.

For example:
  - instead of abrt-cli list --full -o time,dir you can use

    abrt-cli list --full | egrep -i "time|dir"


  - and instead of abrt-cli list --full -O time,dir you can use

    abrt-cli list --full | egrep -vi "time|dir"

What do you think?

I guess, you should use a little bit extended egrep command, because the used one breaks the output format.

The following command doesn't break anything and gives exactly the same output which was firstly required.

      abrt-cli list --full | egrep -i --color=never "(^(@|time|dir))|(^$)"

IMHO this way is pretty inconvenient when you want to run the command by the exec() functions.
