Subject: [RFC iproute2] ip: bridge: use -human to convert time-related values to seconds
We have been printing and expecting the time-related bridge options
scaled by USER_HZ which is confusing to users and hasn't been documented
anywhere. Unfortunately that has been the case for years and people who
use ip-link are scaling the values themselves by now. In order to help
anyone who wants to show and set the values in normal time (seconds) we
can use the ip -h[uman] argument. When it is supplied all values will be
shown and expected in their normal time (currently all in seconds).
The man page is also adjusted everywhere to explain the current scaling
and the new option.
Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@...ulusnetworks.com>
---
To avoid printing the values twice (i.e. the _ms solution) we can use
the -human argument to scale them properly. Obviously -human is an alias
right now for -human-readable, that's why I refer to it only as -human
in the ip-link man page since we are now using it for setting values, too.
Alternatively this can be any new option such as -Timescale.
What do you think ?
