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@debian:~# 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@debian:~# 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. Regards, Witold
