redirect operator inside the ``. Move the one similar test using
$( ) into its own test case (and expand that test as well.
The `` case was omitted before, as no shells (including NetBSD) were
parsing it correctly, Now the NetBSD shell does, so ... (from kre@)
By this change, nexthop caches (IP-MAC address pair) are not stored
in the routing table anymore. Instead nexthop caches are stored in
each network interface; we already have lltable/llentry data structure
for this purpose. This change also obsoletes the concept of cloning/cloned
routes. Cloned routes no longer exist while cloning routes still exist
with renamed to connected routes.
Noticeable changes are:
- Nexthop caches aren't listed in route show/netstat -r
- sysctl(NET_RT_DUMP) doesn't return them
- If RTF_LLDATA is specified, it returns nexthop caches
- Several definitions of routing flags and messages are removed
- RTF_CLONING, RTF_XRESOLVE, RTF_LLINFO, RTF_CLONED and RTM_RESOLVE
- RTF_CONNECTED is added
- It has the same value of RTF_CLONING for backward compatibility
- route's -xresolve, -[no]cloned and -llinfo options are removed
- -[no]cloning remains because it seems there are users
- -[no]connected is introduced and recommended
to be used instead of -[no]cloning
- route show/netstat -r drops some flags
- 'L' and 'c' are not seen anymore
- 'C' now indicates a connected route
- Gateway value of a route of an interface address is now not
a L2 address but "link#N" like a connected (cloning) route
- Proxy ARP: "arp -s ... pub" doesn't create a route

producing (( (when the cmd starts with a '(' as that as a reserved
sequence (according to posix) and some shells do treat it specially.
So, force a space after the enclosing '(' to avoid the problem.
For symmetry, put a space before the concluding ')' as well, though
there is nothing special about )). (from kre@)
use printf %s instead of echo, as there are embedded \ chars in
some of the strings, and some other (nameless) shells insist on
treating \ in the args to echo as something special... (from kre@)
that could be interpreted as something different. That is, for our
shell +4++3 is just (+4)+(+3) and works fine. But others treat ++
as the increment operator. Same for --. Sprinkle spaces to taste.
(from kre@)
to wait for the same process over and over again (forever) (???)
This test now takes slightly over 20 seconds to complete (elapsed
time) caused by all the waiting on sleep commands being run in
the background. (from kre@)
