I'm trying to write a pseudo interface, but I'm confused about my responsibilities for the _ioctl() command. It seems that for the assigning of an address, I simply need to return 0 to indicate that address family is ok, as the higher level functions handle the actuall assignment of addresses. Is this true? Do I need to do anything else, such as installing routes into the routing table (if I don't want the user to have to run route commands for it). Is my interface responsible for any other SIOC's, or can it safely return EINVAL or 0 for SIOC's it doesn't recognize? (Apart from any SIOC's that I custom define of course) Thanks Geoff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
