Subject: dpll: monitor: add -t/--timestamp and --tshort options
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=83ba195fa4f6e9004f59a0121dfb034fa911f65b;p=thirdparty%2Fiproute2.git

dpll: monitor: add -t/--timestamp and --tshort options

Bring dpll monitor in line with the rest of iproute2 by allowing each
received notification to be prefixed with a wall-clock timestamp.

  -t / --timestamp  emit a separate "Timestamp:" line before each event,
                    using the default text form of print_timestamp()
                    (matches ip / bridge / tc -t monitor)
  --tshort          emit a compact ISO 8601 prefix
                    "[YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.uuuuuu]" inline instead
                    (matches ip -ts monitor)

When combined with -j, the timestamp shows up as a "timestamp" /
"timestamp_short" field on each notification object, the same way
ip -j -t mptcp monitor integrates the helper.

The flag is parsed globally but only consulted from the monitor
callback, so passing -t to non-monitor commands is a no-op.

--tshort has no short alias, so its long_options entry uses an
identifier above the ASCII range (OPT_TSHORT = 256) following the
iproute2 convention used in misc/ss.c, instead of consuming an
ASCII letter that could later collide with a real short option.
