Nicolas,
I plan to read this thoroughly shortly, but a couple of superficial things
caught my eye upon a quick glance-through:
* I notice that Crossbow plans to extend show-dev. Post-UV, show-dev
still deals with device names, whereas the other show-<foo> commands
deal with link names. Accordingly, we've added a show-phys
subcommand that describes "physical links" by their linkname, and
obsoleted show-dev (see section 4.1.2 and section 4.1.3. of [1] for
more details). Would it be reasonable for this new functionality to
be folded into show-phys?
* Similarly, as we've discussed in the past, a number of the new dladm
"-d <dev>" options need to become "-l <link>" post-UV.
* In general, field names in dladm show-<foo> output should be a single
word. (Among other things, this sidesteps having to quote whitespace
when using the -o <field> option that we'd like all the show-<foo>
commands to have.) Accordingly, the "MAC ADDRESS" field needs to be
recast.
