That only has a small overlap with my patch. Most of my patch is still applicable. >I guess "usec or nsec" is still confusing to end-user. That's why I added the parenthetical "using whichever unit the clock is presently denominated in". If any more explanation is required than that and the description of the status flag, it should be brought out as a separate paragraph, not squeezed into the option descriptions. >But please add new lines for new stuff. That doesn't sit well with what I want to achieve. I'm thinking that I'd like to make the -p output look something like offset: 5221897 ns frequency: 5733637 /65536 us/s maxerror: 616511 us esterror: 9673 us status: STA_PLL | STA_NANO time_constant: 10 Sh precision: 1 us tolerance: 32768000 /65536 us/s tick: 9999 us raw time: 1492784129.037972432 return value: TIME_OK Most of the new stuff is units, and I don't see a reasonable layout that puts that all on new lines. But in most cases the existing number is still whitespace-delimited and the first thing following the colon, so it's still easy to parse out in a backward-compatible way. What do you think? -zefram
