I knew about libxo, but not that so many utilities were already patched to use it. This opens up alot of doors for automation scripts. Fantastic content and work!
Very handy util it seems, just seems a shame it's not more widely adopted into the system utils. I've used the jc python package on Linux before but this seems much cleaner, the benefits of using and OS over a distro I guess.
Thanks :-) From what I understand, more and more system utilities are getting the "libxo treatment"; it just takes time but also requires that someone is willing to do the changes and commit back to the FreeBSD project... The jc tool is really neat - I did not know about it before; always learning... IMHO, the advantage of incorporating libxo directly into the binary is that no text processing needs to happen, therefore no chance to get anything garbled up (e.g. due to the potentially different output produced by different binary versions, or misinterpretation of spaces/tabs...) - and that is probably what you mean with "much cleaner" :-)
@@BSDJedi Nothing happens quickly in the BSD ecosystem it seems, the smaller pool of developers (compared to Linux) is obviously one reason. Keep up the good work, much appreciated.
Awesome content as always. Subscribed!
Thank you :-)

Yes, indeed very nice for automation :-) Thank you for passing by
@@BSDJedi if you keep putting out fascinating *BSD content, you can bet on me keepin on passing by :D
excellent Video, subbed :)
Very glad you liked :-) Thanks for the sub.
