%(metric(size))
And that could be usable in scan formats and the like. Not in love with
the function name, so other suggestions are welcome.
If you're not up for coding that, I could get to it, but it might be
a few days before it would be done.
i'll take a look at it.
There are comments at the beginning of fmt_compile.c which explain the
basics, so if you want to tackle it before me that should get you started.
To give you an idea, the functable entry for my proposed %(metric) function
would look something like:
{ "metric", TF_EXPR, FT_LS_METRIC, 0, TFL_PUTS },
hmm. referring to the comments in fmt_compile.h, i see that rather
than implementing a "modifies str" function, as above, i've done an
"outputs text" function, like so:
{ "metric", TF_EXPR, FT_METRIC, 0, 0 },
i guess i'm not sure why i'd choose one over the other.
