From c01c7f05759e915d3b31b1530c0caadb11a447aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian Norris Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2011 09:49:23 -0700 Subject: nanddump: document, warn about future default --omitoob To work as a proper inverse to nandwrite, nanddump must not dump OOB data by default. This patch prints a warning regarding the future change. We also suggest using the new flag, `--oob', for transitioning to the next release with new default behavior. Note that we are changing `-o' to mean `--oob' in the next release, similar to `nandwrite -o'. This is a break from previous behavior.
