It ought to go to stdout only in response to something like a --help command line option. Jan

Refactor xen-ucode tool by adding usage() to handle usage\help messages. As we add more command options this will keep help\usage messages in a common block. Only generic error message is printed to stderr. usage and show_curr_cpu are printed to stdout. Signed-off-by: Fouad Hilly <fouad.hilly@cloud.com> --- [v3] 1- Reverted usage message. 2- Utilized usage(). [v2] 1- Improved message description. 2- Fixed formatting and indentation. 3- Error message to print to stderr. tools/misc/xen-ucode.c | 12 +++++++++--- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
