sysmon(4) messages
I test-booted netbsd on an old laptop and got
acpibat1: state changed on 'charge state' to 'CRITICAL'
which took me a bit of time to parse ("uhm, state changed on state?
*sounds of modem handshake*...").
I gather, it's meant to say
$dev: state changed on '$sensor' to '$state'
sys/dev/sysmon/sysmon_power.c:866
case PENVSYS_EVENT_STATE_CHANGED:
printf("%s: state changed on '%s' to '%s'\n",
pes->pes_dvname, pes->pes_sensname,
pes->pes_statedesc);
Would it make more sense to change this to either
$dev: $sensor changed to $state
and hope for the best (at least now there are no extra nouns that come
from the message template), or make things verbose and very explicit
with something like
$dev: sensor '$sensor' changed state to '$state'
Thoughts?
