Yes, but the Unix way of doing things is also not to reinvent the
wheel again and again and again.

Hm... why do you think a artifical extension of outputy handling in
the bconsole code would be any better that a plain shell command like

echo list files jobid=999 | bconsole | grep filenameImLookingFor

?

It would only be duplicated code (at best), added complexity and added
bugs.
