There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

.In sys/types.h

|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The routine
|
|
.Fn link_addr
|
|
interprets character strings representing link-level addresses,
|
|
returning binary information suitable for use in system calls.
|
|
The routine
|
|
.Fn link_ntoa
|
|
takes a link-level address and returns an
|
|
.Tn ASCII
|
|
string representing some of the information present, including the
|
|
link level address itself, and the interface name or number, if present.
|
|
This facility is experimental and is still subject to change.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Prior to a call to
|
|
.Fn link_addr ,
|
|
.Fa sdl-\*[Gt]sdl_len
|
|
must be initialized to the size of the link-level socket structure,
|
|
typically
|
|
.Fa sizeof(struct sockaddr_dl) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For
|
|
.Fn link_addr ,
|
|
the string
|
|
.Fa addr
|
|
may contain
|
|
an optional network interface identifier of the form
|
|
.Dq "name unit-number" ,
|
|
suitable for the first argument to
|
|
.Xr ifconfig 8 ,
|
|
followed in all cases by a colon and
|
|
an interface address in the form of
|
|
groups of hexadecimal digits
|
|
separated by periods.
|
|
Each group represents a byte of address;
|
|
address bytes are filled left to right from
|
|
low order bytes through high order bytes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.\" A regular expression may make this format clearer:
|
|
.\" .Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
.\" ([a-z]+[0-9]+:)?[0-9a-f]+(\e.[0-9a-f]+)*
|
|
.\" .Ed
|
|
.\" .Pp
|
|
Thus
|
|
.Li le0:8.0.9.13.d.30
|
|
represents an ethernet address
|
|
to be transmitted on the first Lance ethernet interface.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn link_ntoa
|
|
always returns a null terminated string.
|
|
.Fn link_addr
|
|
has no return value (See
|
|
.Sx BUGS ) .

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn link_addr
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn link_ntoa
|
|
functions appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.3 Reno .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The returned values for
|
|
.Fn link_ntoa
|
|
reside in a static memory area.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn link_addr
|
|
should diagnose improperly formed input, and there should be an unambiguous
|
|
way to recognize this.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Va sdl_len
|
|
field of the link socket address
|
|
.Fa sdl
|
|
is 0,
|
|
.Fn link_ntoa
|
|
will not insert a colon before the interface address bytes.
|
|
If this translated address is given to
|
|
.Fn link_addr
|
|
without inserting an initial colon,
|
|
the latter will not interpret it correctly.
