[systemd-devel] Regex parsable output of systemctl

Hi,

to get a regex parsable output of systemctl, I use this up to now:

     systemctl list-units --full --all --plain --no-legend

This is a lot of typing.

AFAIK there is no way to make it shorter (maybe use -a instead of --all).

Maybe I am blind and there is already a switch which makes the output
of systemctl easy to parse in scripts.

If there is no such switch up to now, then it would be very nice if
it could be added.

What do you think?

Regards,
   Thomas Güttler
