Such modification of Argyll could be a first step to a GUI mode... As
Graeme explained, making an API from the current Argyll project is not
that simple, as the main work is done in final utilities. So, adding a
few hooks could be a solution to make it easier to be run from a GUI,
and also to be able to add nice features like the above one.
What I usually do when I have to implement a GUI over a cli, is to add a
special flag. When this flag is set, the output change, and is more
computer-oriented: shorter messages (easier to catch), steps messages,
and I do not use special char to stay on the same line when outputing a
counter, for example, which is sometimes hard to deal with.
