Let --search override --nodesc

[emsaks]

I use uhubctl within a function called by other parts of a script, that can pass parameters to be forwarded to uhubctl. I like to use --nodesc by default, so the 'inner' function specifies it, but sometimes the function caller needs to search by description. Obviously, if the --search parameter is specified, the is no choice but to query device description, so the --nodesc should be ignored.

Not trying to dismiss a need for proposed change, but:

• It is still technically possible for --search and --searchhub to work even without querying descriptor strings. E.g. one might want to limit to only 2 port USB hub using uhubctl --nodesc --searchhub "2 ports", and it would work correctly. Or, e.g. one can call uhubctl --nodesc --search "0bda:0411", even though it is equivalent to uhubctl --nodesc --vendor 0bda:0411.
• What stops you from changing your script invocation logic to be smarter and remove --nodesc from parameters if --search is specified?

That's a good point. I didn't realize --search included more than the device descriptor. I am using the script logic you mentioned, as a workaround. It just complicates what would have been a simple function. Thanks.

Thanks, I will close this then!
