I don't see any use of the word `obsolete' in if_tcp(7P) -- only that they are provided for compatibility. Indeed, in the rest of UNIX programming world, these are the standard interfaces. I've begun to wonder whether we made a mistake introducing the SIOCGLIF* ioctls in the first place, since they seem to target a non-existent problem (interface names greater than 16 characters). -- meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
