Alias improved
The Alias capabilities have been considerably expanded, starting with OWFS 2.8p9Impetus was from a message from Cyril Lavier, who wanted to be able to change alias files on the fly.
So the current design:
- Aliases can be initially assigned in the aliase file and specified on the command line
- Same format: serial_number = alias_name
- multiple lines allowed
- repeats of name or serial numbers allowed, but duplicates will be overwritten
- The list of currently known alias pairings can be generated dynamically by reading
/settings/alias/list - Alias names can be changed by writing to a device's alias property
