Subject: Incorrect --help / manpage for -color for ip, tc, bridge
iproute 5.9.0
Apparently ip -c is a shortcut to ip -color
but in tc, tc -c doesn't work, one needs to say tc -col or tc -color
I understand there is tc -conf, which has tc -c.
But:
Help says:
root@...ian:~# tc
Usage: tc [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }
tc [-force] -batch filename
where OBJECT := { qdisc | class | filter | chain |
action | monitor | exec }
OPTIONS := { -V[ersion] | -s[tatistics] | -d[etails] | -r[aw] |
-o[neline] | -j[son] | -p[retty] | -c[olor]
-b[atch] [filename] | -n[etns] name | -N[umeric] |
-nm | -nam[es] | { -cf | -conf } path }
this should be:
root@...ian:~# tc
Usage: tc [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }
tc [-force] -batch filename
where OBJECT := { qdisc | class | filter | chain |
action | monitor | exec }
OPTIONS := { -V[ersion] | -s[tatistics] | -d[etails] | -r[aw] |
-o[neline] | -j[son] | -p[retty] | -col[or]
-b[atch] [filename] | -n[etns] name | -N[umeric] |
-nm | -nam[es] | { -cf | -c[onf] } path }
( -c[olor] -> -col[or] ) # also in --help for ip and bridge
If only -c meaning -conf could be removed, it would be even nicer. -cf
is already short.
Additionally in manpage for tc, ip and bridge:
-c[color][={always|auto|never}
Configure color output. If parameter is omitted or
always, color output is enabled regardless of stdout state. If
parameter is auto, stdout is checked to be a terminal be‐
fore enabling color output. If parameter is never,
color output is disabled. If specified multiple times, the last one
takes precedence. This flag is ignored if -json is
also given.
I don't think this is correct either.
Should be -col[or], not -c[color] (sic!).
Similar mistakes are in man pages and --help messages also for ip,
bridge, not just tc.

Witold
