Actually I'm concerned about total kernel command line length, so using option names that are "long" when short will do is not good IMO. I.e., I can easily overflow a 255-byte command line length buffer, so Shorter is Better. However, "when short will do" does not mean making them unreadable or like they mean something else, like "nopkt". --- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
