Re: MAC Address addition to GREP Output

I'm sure devs with much more experience than me will chime in on this, but
from what I know, the gnmap format has been deprecated and while it will
never go away, will also never be updated.

I would also say adding an extra field to a long established format would
not go down well with a lot of people who have scripts build to parse it as
it currently stands.

Can we please have this simple thing added? For many years, I've hoped it
would be added and only to find that it has not.

Getting a machines MAC address along with it's IP and hostname in an
easily grepable format is a task that keeps coming up for me every
few months or years. Only to find that it's suggested to use the XML
output. This is needlessly complex for many uses. Simply having the output
on a single line would instantly make this task easy.

Please please add the MAC address to the grep output.
