CLI Tools

[Wilfred Smith]

There was a discussion a while back (2 years ago? In https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/openbmc/2016-November/005307.html) where the OP (Patrick Williams) expressed concern over the proliferation of command line tools. Patrick’s interest involved how to integrate iotools. Others chimed in questioning whether it’s better to provide compact commands for common needs or encourage exploration by requiring longhand. Patrick inquired about the target audience for the tools.

Was there further discussion along these lines? Has a policy been established regarding command line utilities and best practices for involving such utilities with OpenBMC?
