AF_NETLINK which dumps the whole list of interface data over a socket to the application. At least that is what smart apps like ip use last time I checked. And since I deleted all of the netlink CONFIG_* options, everyone's kernel has it enabled. There really isn't any excuse to use netlink for network configuration read/write in these kinds of tools. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
