-P, --process-only to display process name without the PID in brackets

Open porg opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Feature Request

  • When you use --process-only or -P fatrace outputs only the process name

Advantages & User Goals

  • Shorter more readable output, when one is mostly interested in "which process" (name) and not so much "which instance" (PID).
  • This is especially useful when logging in multiple sessions (where the PID) may change, but in an accumulated output want to cluster by process-name.

I find this a bit too specialized TBH. Proposal #15 is more generic, and would avoid introducing lots of special-cased options for similar output tuning.

I agree! If you consider #15 feel free to close down this here as unnecessary complicated redundant.
