Hello, I dont understand, looking at "man 4 route", how to use the RTM_IFINFO message of a Routing Socket. I mean, do I have to make a "write" on the socket with a "struct if_msghdr" of type = RTM_IFINFO and later on a "read" with the same data structure ? Or can I just open the PF_ROUTE socket and then make a "read" with a "struct if_msghdr" data structure, w/out doing a "write" ? I'm really lost, and I haven't found documentation about this topic, so please if somebody can give me an example or pointing me to somewhere to learn to use this, I'd be delighted. Looking at "usr/src/bin/route.c" is simple another big mess for me. I'm looking forward to your answers, net-people ! -- ****** JFRH ******
