From 2b8f6883a17b9386299b7690869ccd8e20fe0347 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek Date: Sun, 6 Oct 2013 21:55:18 -0400 Subject: journalctl: flip to --full by default We already shew lines in full when using a pager or not on a tty. The commit disables ellipsization in the sole remaining case, namely when --follow is used. This has been a popular request for a long time, and indeed, full output seems much more useful. Old behaviour can still be requested by using --no-full. Old options retain their behaviour for compatiblity, but aren't advertised as much. This change applies only to jornalctl, not to systemctl, when ellipsization is useful to keep the layout. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=984758 --- man/journalctl.xml | 15 ++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'man/journalctl.xml') diff --git a/man/journalctl.xml b/man/journalctl.xml index b5a0c539ca..2ce81a0563 100644 --- a/man/journalctl.xml +++ b/man/journalctl.xml @@ -152,11 +152,20 @@ - + + + + Ellipsize fields when + they don't fit in available columns. + The default is to show full fields, + allowing them to wrap or be truncated + by the pager if one is used. - Show all (printable) fields in - full. + Old options + / + not useful anymore, except to undo + . -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
