https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D208173 Marie Helene Kvello-Aune <marieheleneka@gmail.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |marieheleneka@gmail.com --- Comment #2 from Marie Helene Kvello-Aune <marieheleneka@gmail.com> --- I believe this happens because ifconfig requires the address family (inet, inet6, link, possibly others) to be the first argument to the program. Not passing 'inet' works because there's code to make it default to 'inet' for historical/backwards compatible reasons. Essentially, ifconfig is doing exa= ctly what the man page says it should be doing here. I have a fix for this (and other similar bad UX scenarios) on my todo, but = it involves rewriting how ifconfig parse and process arguments. I won't start = work on it until after libification of ifconfig (libifconfig). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
