The “auth” command outputs a banner line followed by an
asterisk-prefixed list of accounts. It’s readable to humans but
requires some extra work to make usable for scripts. A common need is
to see the notifications on all accounts. For that I run:
$ toot auth | awk '/^[*]/{print $2}' | while read acct; do toot notifications
-r -u "$acct"; done
The status quo of human-readable output could be beautified at any
point, or perhaps more information could be added to the auth output
in the future. Whenever that changes, it may break scripts and
complicate the above hack to act on all accounts.
So I suggest adding a “--raw” option of sorts to make the awk command
pipe above unnecessary.
