Change subject: cli: Don't break long values ...................................................................... cli: Don't break long values Currently when the value of a field is very long, we try to break it so that it will take several lines. For example: [RHEVM shell (connected)]# show something id : ee34f1fb-308d-494f-a084-f58ec5b35b87 very-long-field : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx But the actual result isn't correctlly aligned due to an error in the way we format the columns. In addition this formatting isn't useful for users that want to copy and paste the text, as the copied text will include spaces that the user will have to manually remove. To avoid the issue alltogheter this patch changes the CLI so that it won't try to break the lines. The result will be like this: [RHEVM shell (connected)]# show something id : ee34f1fb-308d-494f-a084-f58ec5b35b87 very-long-field : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This patch also changes the default options of the "less" pager so that it won't break long lines.
