Ahh, so you want to exchange the "<unknown>" against something shorter
to see (more of) one or both numbers, is that correct ?
So lets see:
04.10.1999 01:18:22 CHD 00081 <unknown> incoming call from 3021478443 to 2147844
the format is fixed, because it should be easily parsable, we have:
^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ....
date time typ id entry message
I could do
04.10.1999 01:18:22 CHD 00081 <unknown> src 3021478443 dst 2147844, incoming call
now think about this
04.10.1999 01:18:22 CHD 00081 <unknown> src 0123456789012345 dst 0123456789012345, incoming call
Numbers - IIRC - can be 15 digits max, so the next one will ask, is this an
incoming or outgoing call ?
I know, this is an extreme example, but my point is that its not done with
some change here or there (because then you are satisfied, but its likely
that someone else will get a different problem).
Before touching this, please think about it a bit more. What do you want to
accomplish ? Should all messages fit into 80 chars ? Is date, time, type
and so on really necessary, are there shorter alternatives ? Would a
continuation line do it:
04.10.1999 01:18:22 CHD 00081 <unknown> incoming call:
from: 0123456789012345
to: 0123456789012345
Should the user be somehow able to customize the log messages via a
line in the isdnd.rc system section, like
log-format = "%D %T %t %i %n from %s to %d"
or so ?
Or extend the message format to a:
date, time, typ, id, entry, src (if available), dst (if available), message
format ?
I want the log message format to be consistent and easily parsable by
default. Second, i'd like to touch the area of log messages only once
again in the future and then never again, because i did it once and this
is a huge and boring amount of work which brings us near to nothing
(given that there are huge sppp problems, new chipsets, i4b does not
work in -current due to architecture changes, etc, etc, etc.).
In case you want to change log messages, please do some research, make
a good proposal and after some discussion i'm happily expecting diffs ;-)
