What do you think is going to make people using this command swear and curse more: - using -P (as opposed to -p) to get probe info and noting that this really should have been lower case like the other output modifiers (not to mention that using the shift key is bad) or - using -P with ipmpstat but -p with dladm and needing to remember that parsable output is achieved with different command line options for no good reason. And I say "no good reason" because the design to have each output modifier as a lower case letter will be lost (apart from this thread) - unless it is specifically documented as being that way. I understand your desire to have a clean design for command line option letters within ipmpstat but I'm appealing to your appreciation of the problem that this will present to those who actually have to use this to reconsider.
