They're not mutually exclusive. libifconfig handles the low level information gathering, and ifconfig formats it for output to the user. One could still make ifconfig use libxo for formatting the output. I just happen to be working on libifconfig lately and am using the flua binding for testing. Outputting JSON for the available configuration information is simply a practical demonstration of the flua binding, it's not the end goal. -- Ryan Moeller iXsystems, Inc.
