Someone should just make a python API that just abstracts all of this

So mmlspool does in 4.1.1.3... perhaps my memory fails me.
I'm pretty certain Yuri told me that mmlspool was completely unsupported and didn't have -Y a couple of years ago when we did the original GPFS UG RFEs prior to 4.x. I figure that earns cookies.

Perhaps in light of the mmbackup thread; "Will fix RFEs for cookies?". Name your price ;-)

Indeed.

jtucker@elmo:~$ mmlsfs all -Y
mmlsfs::HEADER:version:reserved:reserved:deviceName:fieldName:data:remarks:

I must say I've not seen any headers increment above 0:1 since ... er .. 3.3(?), so they're pretty static.

Now, if only mmlspool supported -Y ... or if _all_ commands supported -Y, I might even FedEX beer.

What’s nice is that the “-Y” output provides a HEADER so that you can still programmatically determine fields of interest… this is the best!

I recommend adding “-Y” option documentation to all supporting GPFS commands for others to be informed.

If you build a monitoring pipeline using -Y output, make sure you test between revisions before upgrading. The columns do have a tendency to change from time to time.

    Apparently, though not documented in man pages or any of the
    GPFS docs that I’ve read (at least that I recall), there is a
    “-Y” option to many/most GPFS commands that provides output in
    machine readable fashion….

    That’s right kids… no more parsing obscure, often changed output
    columns with your favorite bash/awk/python/magic.

    Why IBM would not document this is beyond me,
