It seems to me that it'd be better to have either just _one_ flags field, or some higher-level meaning for each of the flags fields. "UP" is too narrow and "FLAGS" is too broad. I'd suggest trying harder to combine these by choosing other letters or using case. As long as it's documented, anything reasonable will work here. And you can use the break-out format with "-v" to explain the individual flags as well. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[email protected]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
