[ClusterLabs] pcs output to console/terminal

[Michal Pospíšil]

Hi lejeczek,

As far as I know, we only wrap PCS output to the terminal if it's
interactive. Redirecting output to a file or to other utilities should
disable wrapping. Each command can behave slightly differently because some
use the new architecture - a PCS library command and a CLI formatter. Older
commands write the output directly using helper functions (though a quick
search in the latest PCS version suggests that even the old architecture
seems to use the new wrapping function). Sometimes, PCS only reprints what
it's been given, like in the case of `pcs status` and no wrapping is done.
No build parameter affects text wrapping and the only hard-coded limit is
the minimum line length for wrapping which is 40 characters.

Are you experiencing any issues with wrapping? Which command, PCS version,
and distro are you using?


Regards,
Michal
