"test_id" is consistent with the UAPI netlink attribute name, see
below.

Yes, the cmd line accepts shortened option names. So for "test_id", it
would accept:
"test_i"
"test_"
and "test"

I just wanted to say you, as a user, will be able to still use the
shortened version, but the option name "test_id" would be consistent
with UAPI, which is what we usually have.
