Using fw_printenv with --noheader fails:

I think it would work with --noheader=arch
It doesn't:
root@nrr-922:~# fw_printenv --noheader=arch ## Error: `-n' option requires exactly one argument
Probably I should fix the error too as it's misleading.
This comes from getopt_long, so I don't think you can fix it. The getopt string in parse_printenv_args actually says argument "n" has no argument (no colon), so it actually is surprising that it prints that...
Maybe this is from the getopt_long call in parse_common_args?
It's in fw_env.c:
449 int fw_printenv(int argc, char *argv[], int value_only, struct env_opts *opts) 450 { 451 int i, rc = 0; 452 453 if (value_only && argc != 1) { 454 fprintf(stderr, 455 "## Error: `-n' option requires exactly one argument\n"); 456 return -1; 457 } 458
You pass it one argument, getopt_long consumes it, the call to getopt_long does nothing with the that argument and then this check fails because there are no args left. Though you've made me realise it does of course work if you call it like this!
root@nrr-922:~# fw_printenv --noheader=foo arch arm
I guess you could rewrite it so it's actually an optarg, not picked out of argv, but you'd still want to check that there's no more args, so really not sure you gain very much.
