Created attachment 204709 [details] simple patch to sysrc for -i There is no functional difference between -q and -i. The -i flag is documented as: Ignore unknown variables. The -q flag is documented as: Quiet. Disable verbose and hide certain errors. When combined with ‘-L’ and one or more name arguments, provide only exit status and no output. The current behavior is observed: $ sysrc unknown sysrc: unknown variable 'unknown' $ echo $? 1 $ sysrc -q unknown $ echo $? 1 $ sysrc -i unknown $ echo $? 1 When the following behavior is expected: $ sysrc -i unknown sysrc: unknown variable 'unknown' $ echo $? 0 Combining with the -q flag $ sysrc -q -i unknown $ echo $? 0 The following patch: - Makes -i exit code 0 - Makes -i not suppress output unless combined with -q
dteske@ can you review?
^Triage: clear the now obsolete 'patch' keyword. To submitter: is this aging PR still relevant?
I think it's still relevant, the alternative is to change the documentation but that's weird.
