Good afternoon,
Is there a good reason why list-units pads the description field out with
trailing whitespace ?
$ systemctl list-units | cat -vet | head -6
UNIT
LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
$
proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount
loaded active running Arbitrary Executable File
Formats File System Automount Point
$
sys-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:02.0-backlight-acpi_video0.device
loaded active plugged

Here is what I’d rather be receiving, is there any particular reason for
padding the description field with whitespace?
$ systemctl list-units | sed -E 's/\s+$//' | cat -vet | head -6

Kind regards,
