- Added --small-total. Like --small-header, this omits the first column
which usually just has the informative text TOTAL.
- Tweaked -Q/--small-table so it renders with --small-total if
-Y/--summary is provided.
- Added --total as an alias for --summary + --no-header + --small-total,
i.e. printing only the totals (which may be multiple columns) and no
other decoration.
This is useful for scripting, now it's possible to extract just, say,
the sum of some csv and embed with $():
echo $(./scripts/code.py lfs3.o --total)
- Tweaked total to always output a number (0) instead of a dash (-),
even if we have no results.
This relies on Result() with no args, which risks breaking scripts
where the Result type expects an argument. To hopefully catch this
early, the table renderer currently creates a Result() before trying
to fold the total result.
- If first column is empty (--small-total + --small-header, --no-header,
etc) collapse width to zero. This avoids a bunch of extra whitespace,
but still includes the two spaces normal used to separate names from
fields.
But I think those spaces are a good thing. It makes it hard to miss
the implicit padding in the table renderer that risks breaking
dependent scripts.
