[patches:#74] Improve help message for 'ipmitool picmg policy set' Status: open Created: Tue Aug 06, 2013 09:26 PM UTC by Dan Gora Last Updated: Tue Aug 06, 2013 09:26 PM UTC Owner: nobody
A quick patch to improve the help message for ipmitool picmg policy set. The previous help message was basically just copied out of the AMC specifications describing the bit fields in the message, but it was really unclear how the command itself worked without looking at the source code and the AMC specification. It now tries to make it clear that the values in square brackets are bit positions and not values. thanks dan Index: lib/ipmi_picmg.c RCS file: /cvsroot/ipmitool/ipmitool/lib/ipmi_picmg.c,v retrieving revision 1.26 diff -u -r1.26 ipmi_picmg.c --- lib/ipmi_picmg.c 18 May 2013 06:31:02 -0000 1.26 +++ lib/ipmi_picmg.c 6 Aug 2013 21:22:21 -0000 @@ -1858,12 +1858,13 @@ } else { lprintf(LOG_NOTICE, "usage: set "); lprintf(LOG_NOTICE, - " lockmask: [1] affect the deactivation locked bit"); + " lockmask: [bit 1] Set to 1 to affect the deactivation locked bit"); lprintf(LOG_NOTICE, - " [0] affect the activation locked bit"); + " [bit 0] Set to 1 to affect the activation locked bit"); lprintf(LOG_NOTICE, - " lock: [1] set/clear deactivation locked"); - lprintf(LOG_NOTICE, " [0] set/clear locked"); + " lock: [bit 1] Set to 1 to set, 0 to clear deactivation locked"); + lprintf(LOG_NOTICE, + " [bit 0] Set to 1 to set, 0 to clear activation locked"); } } else { ________________________________ Sent from sourceforge.net because you indicated interest in https://sourceforge.net/p/ipmitool/patches/74/ To unsubscribe from further messages, please visit https://sourceforge.net/auth/subscriptions/ -- Dan Gora Software Engineer Adax, Inc.
