I see that data returned by modules is often non-formatted, like this
example:
{'vm2': [['384.0 KiB', '216.0 KiB', '600.0 KiB', 'udevd'],
so the app using func would have to convert those strings with KiB
MiB and so on in bytes.
Why did you choose to go this way instead of reporting absolute,
ready-to-use values (like bytes in an integer value)?
While I see this form is good for human consumption, it is bad to
script / automatization / embeddingfuncinsomethingelse. That's why
classic unix userland tools have both forms of output.
How do you see a "global" switch to choose between human- and
machine- readable outputs? The commandline interface could default to
human and the API to machine. Something like:
func -m $host call $mymodules blah ---> machine-readable output
func -h $host call... ---> human-readable output
func $host call.... ---> human-readable output
