Now I just wonder what the double semicolons mean and why they're different from single semicolons :) It's fine, I can Google the answer, I just wished I didn't need to.

I already know to use +short when I just want the result(s). I use it in a script to detect and resolve my Pihole's random freezes (by timing the lookup and rebooting the VM every time a lookup fails or takes longer than 200ms, janky but it works).




Perhaps there is info that would normally be present and isn’t, hence stacked semicolons.


A precision engineering tool shouldn’t make its users guess like that.


Totally agree.
