| | 1 | The following is a list of commands or features that are deprecated. All |
| | 2 | deprecated utils are in maintenance mode and we keep them in source tree for |
| | 3 | backward compatibility only. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | what: hwclock --debug |
| | 6 | why: renamed to --verbose, and may be repurposed later. |
| | 7 | since: v2.32 |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | -------------------------- |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | what: hwclock -v for version |
| | 12 | why: renamed to -V |
| | 13 | since: v2.20 (was repurposed to verbose in v2.32) |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | -------------------------- |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | what: column --columns |
| | 18 | why: renamed to --output-width |
| | 19 | since: v2.30 |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | -------------------------- |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | what: sfdisk --show-size |
| | 24 | why: this does not belong to fdisk, use "blockdev --getsz" |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | -------------------------- |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | what: sfdisk --Linux |
| | 29 | why: unnecessary option, only Linux (non-DOS mode) is supported |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | -------------------------- |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | what: sfdisk --unit |
| | 34 | why: unnecessary option, only 'S'ector unit is supported |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | -------------------------- |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | what: sfdisk --show-pt-geometry |
| | 39 | why: equal to --show-geometry for a long time |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | -------------------------- |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | what: "swapon --summary" output format |
| | 44 | why: does not provide control on output data formatting. The recommended solution |
| | 45 | is to use --show=<columns> in all scripts. |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | -------------------------- |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | What: mkfs |
| | 50 | Why: use filesystem specific mkfs.<type>. |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | -------------------------- |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | What: fdisk -s <device> |
| | 55 | Why: this does not belong to fdisk, use "blockdev --getsz" |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | -------------------------- |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | What: 'udev' and 'list' blkid(8) output formats |
| | 60 | Why: udevd links libblkid directly; the 'list' is unnecessary, use lsblk(8) |
| | 61 | |
| | 62 | -------------------------- |
| | 63 | |
| | 64 | What: line(1) command |
| | 65 | Why: use the read(1) command |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | -------------------------- |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | What: pg(1) command |
| | 70 | Why: use less(1) or more(1) |
| | 71 | |
| | 72 | -------------------------- |
| | 73 | |
| | 74 | What: CHS stuff in fdisk (except SUN where are partitions addresses by cylinders only) |
| | 75 | Why: use addressing by sectors, CHS does not work with modern disks, |
| | 76 | confusing for users... |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | -------------------------- |
| | 79 | |
| | 80 | What: losetup -s |
| | 81 | Why: the option -s is in collision with the Loop-AES losetup dialect that is used |
| | 82 | in some distributions. Use the long version (--show) only. |
| | 83 | |
| | 84 | -------------------------- |
| | 85 | |
| | 86 | What: losetup output format without --list |
| | 87 | |
| | 88 | deprecated format: |
| | 89 | |
| | 90 | # losetup -a |
| | 91 | /dev/loop0: []: (/home/fs-images/swap.img) |
| | 92 | /dev/loop1: []: (/home/fs-images/disk.img), offset 100 |
| | 93 | |
| | 94 | new format: |
| | 95 | |
| | 96 | # losetup |
| | 97 | NAME SIZELIMIT OFFSET AUTOCLEAR RO BACK-FILE |
| | 98 | /dev/loop0 0 0 0 0 /home/fs-images/swap.img |
| | 99 | /dev/loop1 0 100 0 0 /home/fs-images/disk.img |
| | 100 | |
| | 101 | -------------------------- |
| | 102 | |
| | 103 | What: tunelp |
| | 104 | Why: parallel port printers are probably almost extinct devices |
| | 105 | |
