So I suppose kernel frees that information after sending it to
userspace... right?
What information are you referring to?
The one you've said at your first reply: the information stored at
arp cache, ie, MAC <=> IP assigment.
I gonna sniff things around... I've never used netlink before.. just
common socket (and send/recv) syscall.. it's a good project to learn a
little more, since I really need an arp cache daemon. :)
John L. and I have been yapping about writing one as well. We'll post
if/when we get something good together.
Will this code CVS available ?
I've got a code here I wrote that implements a linked list API.
I'm wondering to use it to develop the arp cache... it's easy to use and
I think fits our needs.
