Updated dladm(1M) and flowadm(1M) man pages are in the materials directory. Overview ======== This case is to correct several inconsistencies of the show-usage subcommand between the current implementation and the man page which was proposed in PSARC/2006/357, for both dladm(1M) and flowadm(1M) commands. Further, an additional '-a' option will be added. Details ======= - Manpage inconsistencies 1. Remove the '-t' option The usage records are always in chronological order, so '-t' is not necessary. 2. Remove the '-p' option The usage information will be printed out to stdout. Further, since the '-F' option will be used to specify the output format, '-p' is redundant and therefore is removed. 3. Use the '-F' option to specify the output format Specifying the format of the network usage data output. The only argument it currently takes is "gnuplot", which means the format will be suitable for input to gnuplot. 4. Add the '-d' option Display the dates of the records in the usage data. - The new '-a' option Today, the default behavior of the "dladm show-usage" and "flowadm show-usage" subcommands is to show the historical usage information, including the usage information for the flows and links that have already been deleted. This could easily causes confusion since the default behavior of all other dladm and flowadm subcommands is showing information only for the existing set of links and flows on the current system. At the same time, historical information could be useful especially for auditing purposes. Therefore, we propose to add an additional '-a' option for both "dladm show-usage" and "flowadm show-usage" subcommands and all historical usage information will still be showed if '-a' is specified. The default behavior will be only to show the usage information for the existing links and flows.
