It doesn't need to be XML; you just need a switch to say the output is not being read by a human. You could keep exactly the same output format for that, and you wouldn't need to rewrite all of the parsers. Not that XML is a bad choice; but it's a lot easier to implement just --i-am-a-machine even if it does nothing now. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
