I have found a few env variables that use single letters (autoload, flashchecksum) and noticed that quite a few commands only decode as much of their subcommand as they need to be unique. I am happier with y and n than o! Regards, Simon

I am happier with y and n than o! right, u-boot is inconsistent the short command names are a bit unique in that we already say "if you don't use the full command name, that's your fault". after all, how much of the short name you need to use changes based on the commands enabled and the autocomplete define being enabled. if you enable "reginfo" and "reset", then you can't use "r" or "re". but if you only have "reset", then you can use "r" and "re" to reset. env vars are slightly different in that they're not terribly well documented. so people look at the source to see what is accepted and then do that. maybe the answer is to document the exact values and then when people screw up, we can point to that as a fallback. -mike

I am happier with y and n than o! The 'o' indeed kills this. I don't think this is a good idea. Best regards, Wolfgang Denk
