Bug ID: 3436
Summary: consider adding unknown options to ssh -G’s output
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: v9.0p1
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ssh
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Hey.
It would be nice, if ssh’s -G could output the key/value pairs for
unknown options, e.g. with some prefixed _ or so, to put them into a
separate "namespace".
The idea is that it would greatly allow one to use ssh -G as a config
parser in scripts.
If one had something like
Host foo
IgnoreUnknown MyOption
MyOption value yes
Then one could use ssh -G to get the right value of MyOption (and
whether it's set) out-of-the-box... without needing to care on any
things like selecting the right Host or Match block, etc..
Cheers,
Chris.
