Hi! So I've just added libbsdstats to the tree, which some wireless tools use (tools/tools/net80211/wlanstats is a good exmaple.) I'd like to extend libbsdstats to have multiple output formats, including x= ml. That way we can just "get" xml representations for any tools we migrate to use libbsdstats. I was thinking of maybe doing a conversion of iostat to begin with. The only real downside with libbsdstats as it stands right now is that it doesn't "know" about dynamic lists of things to display statistics for, so it can't do the iostat/vmstat thing of listing statistics for say, two or more disk devices at once. But it'd be good to teach it that. Thanks! -a On 16 March 2014 07:07, =E5=BE=90=E5=BF=97=E9=94=8B <szive@live.com> wrote: > Hello all, > I'am going to apply the GSoC for the project "Machine readable output fro= m userland utilities". > I wonder how to enable the utilities to emit XML output ;Should I add an = option saying -xml to > enable this? > JunOS can emit the XML output using the pipe to display xml(| display xml= ); and I also > wonder how JunOS implemented this. > > Bests. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscribe@freebsd.org= "
