Pairs are seperated by ':' whilst values with ','. I guess you could just use comma's all the way but I personally say that reduces readability...also means that maybe one day you want to pass only one or three values...the format could still work. Easy to parse, a one liner, no fixed length, fits in with the existing use, etc etc. Cheers -- Alexander Clouter .sigmonster says: You'll be sorry... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
