xsetwacom takes both "list" and "--list". i prefer the latter because it explicitly states which part is an option and which part isn't. especially when you're dealing with device names with spaces and the quotation marks get stripped for whatever reason. I realize that with git and many other programs, these days the -- before options isn't quite as default anymore. For xsetwacom (and xinput) both options will stay so it's really up to your personal preference and I don't really have a strong enough opinion to actually care which one you pick :) Cheers, Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Linuxwacom-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linuxwacom-devel
