Rob, I forgot that comment:
> It's annoying to silently truncate the response, so should you not > write something into stderr to point that out? vmcp has a return value, which you can check in scripts. e.g: # vmcp <some large query> # echo $? 0 stands for everything is fine, any other value for problems. vmcp returns ENOBUFS (105) if the buffer was not large enough That means the output was larger than 64kb. You can also print a message using the or code in shells: # vmcp <some large query> || echo "error code: $?" If there is a consensus that vmcp should always print something to stderr if the buffer was not large enough, tell us and we can add that. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards / Un cordial saludo Christian Bornträger Linux Software Engineer zSeries Linux & Virtualization IBM Deutschland Entwicklung GmbH email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel +49 7031 16 1975 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
