I checked a bit ;-)
is it as simple as taking the PR and changing the type name?
I need to look, but probably not - else I would have done it.
That would cause a lot of code duplication - bad. The proper solution
is to control this via options.
given that we don't have an existing name-value type, what backwards
compatibility broke?
We already have one, the iptables type.
And we also have the NameValue parser ... I wonder if the online doc
is outdated or there is a doc issue.
Code w/ comments:
https://github.com/rsyslog/liblognorm/blob/master/src/parser.c#L2578
That's what I remember seeing, but I don't see it in the documentation page
I would expect that the iptables parser would be modified to be a wrapper around
this (setting options and then a passthrough, existing pretty much only for
backwards compatibility)
