Hi Cole,

Not sure how much you want to invest in manual parsing,
but in case this code ends up staying with us for a while,
here are some suggestions.

Handle the case in which the file is empty.
This will appease static checkers like clang and coverity.

Either change the "< 0" test above to "<= 0"
or do e.g.,

  if (len > 0)

> +    buf[len-1] = '\0';

Future proof it by skipping that first line only
if it looks like the heading we see now:

  if (STRPREFIX (buf, "Iface"))

It's slightly better to make "i" unsigned.

The following assumes no leading white space, which is currently true
at least on F13.  Future/portability-proof it by skipping leading white space:

         while (c_isblank (*cur))
             cur++;

> +        cur++;
> +
> +        /* Delimit interface field */
> +        for (i = 0; i < sizeof(data); ++i) {

Oops.  Won't this make "i" iterate from 0 up to 31 or 63,
depending on sizeof char*?

You probably mean this:
           for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_CARDINALITY(data); ++i) {

> +            data[i] = cur;

Otherwise, this would overrun the 8-element "data" array
and clobber the stack.

> +            while(*cur > ' ') {

Using "> ' '" works as long as each line has 8 or more fields.
If there are fewer, it would treat the newline just like a regular field
separator and continue getting fields from the next line.
If you use c_isblank you have to handle end of line differently,
but that's a good thing.

How about using c_isblank here, too, rather than relying on
ASCII "space" being smaller than "interesting" byte codes?
On F13, the fields of /proc/net/route are TAB-delimited.
Besides, I think y

               while (*cur && !c_isblank (*cur)) {

> +                cur++;
> +            }
> +            *cur++ = '\0';

You'll want something here to keep "cur" from going more than 1 beyond
the end of the buffer, in case the last row has fewer than 8 columns.

If a line had fewer than 8 columns, at least mask is not valid.
Similarly for dest if there are fewer than two columns.
