Bug ID: 246514 Summary: w(1) truncates output before passing to libxo Product: Base System Version: Unspecified Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: b...@freebsd.org Reporter: ltning-free...@anduin.net When calling w(1) as w --libxo=json or any other output format, values - particularly the WHAT column - gets truncated by the terminal size at the time of invocation. This is particularly troublesome when called in a non-terminal session e.g. from cron(8), as it will then default to 79 characters. It could be argued that unless the output is a terminal, it should not make any assumptions about or adaptations to terminal size at all. For example, w|head should not truncate. However, changing this behaviour might be a violation of the POLA. Truncating output prior to passing to libxo shoul, however, probably be considered a bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
