I've got some code that allows one to exclude debug token, so that certain
types can be filtered out. Before I check it in, I wanted to solicit opinions
on how it should work.
Option 1) any token prefixed with '-' will be excluded. eg
-D -parse-mibs,parse,other,-different
will show any token starting with 'other' or 'parse', except for those that
start with 'parse-mibs' or 'different'.
Option 2) any string of tokens prefixed with '-' will be excluded. eg
-D -parse-mibs,different -D parse,other
will show any token starting with 'other' or 'parse', except for those that
start with 'parse-mibs' or 'different'.
Option 3) define a new token. eg
-Dx parse-mibs -D parse,other
will show any token starting with 'other' or 'parse', except for those that
start with 'parse-mibs'.
I like option 1. Option 2 is in-line with how '+' affects mibs, and (I
think) the way the snmpd -I option works to exclude modules during init.
Thoughts?
