https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203062 Bug ID: 203062 Summary: ifconfig always has exit status 0 Product: Base System Version: 11.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: kp@freebsd.org ifconfig doesn't return errors if the ioctl() fails. It prints the error, but always does exit(0). This makes it annoying to use in scripts. For example, when trying to rename an interface to conflict with an existing interface: % sudo ifconfig lo0 name vtnet0 ; echo $? ifconfig: ioctl (set name): File exists 0 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
