I agree. I was actually just cutting/pasting current output from a laptop.. the first table is what we print for show-linkprop today. My own intuition would have been that the first table (show-linkprop) should be really sparse and general, maybe not even have the DEFAULT/POSSIBLE fields? And the second one should have all the details. I suspect that the first table shows the r/w properties, hence the DEFAULT/POSSIBLE columns. > > I would really prefer to have two separate commands: > > * show-linkprop which displays all properties in all their glory (and I personally think show-linkprop should be terse, esp. if we also have a separate "show-<linktype>" command. > * show-dev or somesuch, which displays the device details in a manner that show-dev currently shows what devices are available. I think CV's "show-<linktype>" is what you may have in mind. --Sowmini
