Hi,
There has been some progress around "vdrctl".

Added a new command:
status
print a list of all available configuration files and if it's enabled
(symlinked),
disabled (no symlink in ARGSDIR) or static (regular file in ARGSDIR).
A reference implementation has been started on github:
https://github.com/CReimer/vdrctl
For the next vdr developer release I will send a patch so it will possible to
print the commandline help of a single
plugin instead of having the help of vdr and the given plugin. And maybe the
help will have a (selectable) custom
format, so it can be directly used in a conf-file. In the extended_edit-branch
this help is embedded into the conf-file
when invoking "vdrctl edit" (and is removed before saving it, just like git or
mercurial are doing it with commit messages).
A kind of useful tool, if you have made the work and split all the parameters
across some files.
Stay tuned...
Lars.
