Tru64 doesn't store prefix info in the kernel so there is really no way to get that info out of the it.
The addresses configured on the interfaces are assumed to have static prefix lengths: loopback is /128, link-local is /10, and anything else is /64.
The routing function is separate and that let's us get away with the above.

Hello,
I'm writing an IPv6 application that needs to know local IPv6 addresses and their prefix lengths (or "netmasks" in the IPv4 terminology).
Most systems have some API knobs for this, though they are not necessarily portable, but I could not find such a knob for Compaq Tru64. It's possible to get local "addresses" by the SIOCGIFCONF ioctl, but there seems to be no way to know the prefix length of each IPv6 address.
Does anyone in this list know a clue on this?
Thanks,
