Hi,
The processing of option `-o' in grub-mkconfig only works when
it is the first option. The code is:
# Check the arguments.
for option in "$@"; do
case "$option" in
[...]
-o)
shift
grub_cfg=$1
;;
--output=*)
grub_cfg=`echo "$option" | sed 's/--output=//'`
;;
For instance:
grub-mkconfig -o /tmp/tata -o /tmp/titi
rm: invalid option -- 'o'
Try `rm --help' for more information.
grub-mkconfig --output=/tmp/tata -o /tmp/titi
rm: invalid option -- 'o'
Try `rm --help' for more information.
AFAICS, other scripts (grub-install, grub-mkrescue) only support the
long option (--output=FILE).
The simpler solution would be to get rid of `-o' in grub-mkconfig,
but this would break some user/distribution scripts (e.g. Debian's
update-grub).
What do you think?
