Hello All,
I have a question regarding the setting of the per-interface
flags described in /usr/include/net/if.h (IFF_UP, etc).
I would like to know if there ways other than the use of the
SIOCSIFFLAGS ioctl() command to set these flags.
Specifically, in exploring the netlink() API and experimenting,
I have learnt how to get per-interface flags via sendto() and
recvmsg(). This I have done without any use of ioctl() at all.
I am now wondering if this mechanism could be used to set per-
interface flags. I don't want to use ioctl() to do this.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh.
