Hi! ----
Is there any interest to turn the "zfs" utility (to clarify: This is about a change in the "zfs" utility itself, not about any "language bindings" etc.) from it's (currently) "homegrown" command-line parsing code over to ksh93/libshell.so (this has been proposed by Amersham/GE Healthcare staff a while ago for the original "ksh93-integration" project proposal, see http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/ for the project's home page) ? The idea would be that "zfs" would simply employ libshell.so (libshell.so is ksh93 made available as shared library) for that job and all "zfs"-specific commands get implemented as builtins. This may save lots of complexity, add i18n/l10n support in a very easy way and would give the "zfs" utility full access to the ksh93 syntax (including |if ... else|, |while|-loops, job control and so on...) and other facilities like profiles/roles (since ksh93 can also act as profile shell) ... Comments/suggestions/etc. welcome... :-) ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
