Redundancy in 'loadkeys -h' output
Last modified: 2008-05-01 11:38:01 EDT
Description of Problem: The output of 'loadkeys -h' displays: Usage: loadkeys [option...] [mapfile...] valid options are: -c --clearcompose clear kernel compose table -d --default load default keymap file -m --mktable output a "defkeymap.c" to stdout -s --clearstrings clear kernel string table -q --quiet be silent -v --verbose report the changes -v --verbose report more changes -h --help display this help text and exit -V --version display version information and exit As you can see, there are two lines for "-v". One of the should be removed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): console-tools-19990829-36 How Reproducible: always
No, this is just what it says, try for yourself: loadkeys -v de-latin1 <-- is rather verbose loadkeys -v -v de-latin1 <-- is VERY verbose
I see. I would expect it to say something like: -v --verbose report the changes -vv --verbose report more changes The way it's currently worded, it's not necessarily clear to the user that you would need two "v's" to go into very verbose mode. I think it's a little weird to do 'loadkeys -v -v de-latin1' instead of 'loadkeys -vv de-latin1'.
