[dvblast-devel] [PATCH] Verbosity / quietness option and tidy up of usage output

[Andy Gatward]

Hi,

The attached patch adds a '-q' option to dvblast to allow the amount of output to be reduced.  The q can be repeated, or followed with a number to affect the amount of quietness, e.g. '-qqq' or '-q3'.

I have also added a msg_Raw() function to util.c, which allows the output of relatively raw text to STDERR.  This is now used by the functions in dvblast.c and dvblastctl.c which generate usage info, to remove the annoying prefixes.

The restarting message output when dvblast run has been downgraded to a warning from an error; this will hopefully confuse users less; however longer term, it would probably be better to replace this with a version banner IMO.

Andy.
