Comment (by wagon):
There is another question related to `tor-prompt` vs Nyx control
interpreter. In `tor-prompt` double Tab key suggests possible completions
for commands, but this doesn't work in Nyx interpreter. Can it be added to
Nyx too? It is very convenient feature.
Then, as concerns commands themselves, Nyx lists some outdated variants.
For example, when I use `GETINFO status/version/num-concurring` and
`GETINFO status/version/num-versioning` Tor writes to its log file:
{{{
[warn] status/version/num-concurring is deprecated; it no longer gives
useful information
[warn] status/version/num-versioning is deprecated; it no longer gives
useful information
}}}
Should these commands be removed from interpreter's `/help GETINFO`
listing?
If `Sandbox 1` is set in `torrc`, during each start Nyx does something
inappropriate to Tor forcing it to complain in log:
{{{
[err] sandbox_getaddrinfo(): Bug: (Sandbox) failed to get address
[hostname redacted]! (on Tor 0.3.4.9 )
}}}
Is it OK? Should it be fixed?
There are many commands with `*` at the end. Does it always mean that some
value must be substituted instead of `*`? For example, I didn't find any
valid substitution for `GETINFO config/*` (`config/defaults` and
`config/names` are separate and documented commands).
In Nyx connections window the value `published` is printed as information
about selected relay. What `ControlPort` command Nyx uses to get its
value? `/var/lib/tor/cached-microdescs` file?
Inverse situation is with Tor `version`: it is shown in `/var/lib/tor
/cached-microdesc-consensus` but Nyx does not show it in information about
relays (connections window). Can relay's Tor version be learned from
`ControlPort` too?
Yes, I could add [[https://nyx.torproject.org/#missing_relay_details|extra
options]] to get more information accessible through Nyx and
`ControlPort`, but my question is mainly about default Tor configuration.
