a meaningful option.
- Don't captialize the word address or interface when it refers an arugment.
- Use .Ar macro for dest_address since it is not a keyword.
that gifconfig(8) would issue to configure tunnel endpoints. This
allows IP tunnel interfaces (`gif' right now, and `gre' later) to
be configured with ifconfig(8), and via /etc/ifconfig.<interface>.
Partially taken from similar changes in OpenBSD.
- Const poison the command functions a bit. We really need to clean
up the command function interface.
this is intentional - IPv6 assumes multiple addresses on an interface,
and it is not very safe to "delete" arbitrary one. -alias with
explicit IPv6 address works fine.
(i.e., 10baseT carrier/no carrier) of an interface from scripts
ifconfig -s <interface> will exit with a false status if the interface
reports its unconnected.
-s also works in conjunction with -l and -a, filtering out interfaces
which are reporting down.
Also, add -b (which shows only broadcast interfaces with -l and -a).
I find these options useful in network autoconfig scripts for mobile
systems.
- new "media" keyword specified media to select:
ifconfig de0 media utp
- new "mediaopt/-mediaopt" keywords for setting/clearing
media options (such as full-duplex)
- new "-m" flag to display all supported media types for
a given interface.
Also, some generial cleanup of argument parsing while I was there.
