Greetings !
I have a question, I need to write a small program that sets the default
gw. It is written in C and I have looked at several way to do it. One
way is using ioctl but that way seems a little "old" and not very well
documented. Here is a simple snippet of my code, now when I run it I get
an error "error 22" invalid arg. Does anyone have experience with this
and can point out what I am doing wrong ? I did have it to where it
would work but the kernel never added my netmask to the routing table.
So the route would kinda "hang" their and not do anything. I did tell it
that it was being sent but..... also the flags never where set proper on
the route (when doing route -dvn flush )
Any help would be great ! (oh if this looks familiar, I learned this
from reading both ruote.c and netstat.c. )
