I tried prototyping something similar yesterday.. once there
is a char * field in prop_desc_t, I think we would probably
need something like a new print_linkprop_desc() that attaches the
desc (suitably formatted) to the end of the ls_line buffer, and a call
to this print_linkprop_desc() from print_linkprop...
Assuming that we want to fit everything in the conventional 80 char
wide xterm, the output itself could either be something likeA:
PROPERTY VALUE DEFAULT POSSIBLE
adv_autoneg_cap .. .. .. "short description"
/* 20 chars */
or,
PROPERTY VALUE DEFAULT POSSIBLE
adv_autoneg_cap .. .. .. \n
"long property description can go here"
