At present, only the "struct ifreq" version of SIOCGIFHWADDR is planned as the primary focus of this effort is compatibility and a "struct lifreq" version of this ioctl is not present in other implementations. The work in this case does not preclude such an extension at a later time.
If struct ifreq sufficiently large to return the hardware address (GUID) used for InfiniBand? Or do we need the larger struct lifreq for that?
A sockaddr is only 16 bytes, which doesn't have room for a (20 byte?) GUID AFAICT.
Thus I think it makes sense defining these ioctls using struct lifreq. Erik _______________________________________________ opensolaris-arc mailing list [email protected]
