- I don't understand fully what is going on with SIOCGIFCONF, at least as
- it is implimented under 386BSD. I suspect this is the way it is implimented
- in 4.4. The calls support sockaddr's with sa_len fields.
-
- I finally figured out how it works. It differs quite a bit from the old
- system. I can understand that this is to support multiple address families
- and interface addresses on one interface. But, what is the AF_LINK entry
- for?
- <tdr.
