[GRASS5] GRASS_MESSAGE_FORMAT?

GRASS GIS GRASS GIS developer

Hi,

for some applications it would be useful to have GRASS
less chatty. Are there objections to implement

GRASS_MESSAGE_FORMAT=silent

a.k.a. include/gis.h (around line 123):

#define G_INFO_FORMAT_SILENT 2 /* GRASS_MESSAGE_FORMAT=silent */

which would be applied to lib/gis/percent.c etc?

sounds nice.

what about "GRASS_VERBOSITY=0,1,2" set from g.gisenv? (default 1)

Could be added as an argument to G_message() as well ..?

I think that this is a good idea. People should know that if this variable
is set to silent, there will be no progress bars in the GUI dialogs. It may
solve some other problems however.

see also lib/gis/error.c 's G_suppress_warnings()

sounds nice.

Yes, it is better to add new varable. Verbosity and format are 2
different things
which should not be mixed together.

Yes, but G_message() should not be changed if exist, we have to add
G_message2()

That should probably be an environment variable, so it can have
different values for different commands.
