[ClusterLabs] Q: effect of "-p" on corosync-quorumtool in SLES15

[Ulrich Windl]

Hi!

According to the help message "-p" provides "machine readable" output for corosync-quorumtool for "-s" and "-l".
However I don't see any considerable format change in output with or without "-p":
# /usr/sbin/corosync-quorumtool -l

So what's wrong; didn't the programmer read the tools documentation?

  -p             when used with -s or -l, generates machine parsable output

corosync-2.4.5-6.3.2.x86_64
