Makes sense to me. I've also been pondering the difference between --dry-run, which allows but essentially ignores any command that writes, and some new option we might invent like --read-only, which would reject with an error any command that writes. --dry-run might be surprising given that it would accept silently any command that modifies state. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
