place rather than updating the main loop's index variables from within
a subroutine and other revolting things like that. Move some more
globals into local variables.
program and it's use of global variables. Somehow, I managed to miss the
most obvious case.. "ifconfig ed0 10.0.0.1" failed (no "inet")

family inet if not specified. (eg: "ifconfig ed0" down would fail because
no family was specified, even though the up/down status is not per family)

- parse command options using getopt for consistancy
- sanitise the command parsing so that it's less like spaghetti
- implement a "-l" option (idea from NetBSD - just list names)
- attempt to clean up the sysctl parsing loop some more. It still needs
to be taken out the back and shot though.
- cut down on global usage, but there's a lot more scope for this.
- make usage string a bit closer to reality (it was missing lots of things)
Unfortunately, I did this for the second time but with the memory of
the NetBSD version still recently in my mind. It's hard to redo simple
changes or getopt stuff without making it look like what you've been
working with a few hours ago.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
do it themselves. (Some of these programs actually depended on this
beyond compiling the definition of struct ifinfo!) Also fix up some
other #include messes while we're at it.
- Don't link against libkvm and don't uselessly include <kvm.h>.
- Declare constant objects as const.
- Declare functions with the correct types.
- Call functions with the correct parameters.
Not fixed:
- The sysctl parsing remains ugly (but it may be the best we can do).
- atnetrange() should use strtoul() rather than sscanf() for better
error checking.
it stopped us from removing or setting loopback address
on lo0:
also make use of the fact the athe sockaddre_at struct now has a "netrange"
field.

I discovered that when asking for the IFLIST via sysctl(), if you
specify only AF_INET address, it actually gives you only AF_INET..
(suprise, suprise..!)
Now, it should "do the right thing" in just about all cases... The only
problem, is that "the right thing" isn't exactly clear in all cases.
ifconfig would segfault on "ifconfig ed0 ether up" and the like).
The main reason for this commit was that an "ifconfig -a" would also show
the AF_INET addresses in AF_IPX form (if the kernel was configured for IPX)
due to insufficient AF checking in my "new way" of doing it.
and the ethernet address for non-root users.
I apologise to the world for propagating the ugliness of some of the code
constructs within ifconfig... Fixing them would just abou mean rewriting
most of the function call interfaces, something I didn't have the stomach
for. :-)
actually retrieves all the information no matter how many interfaces
there are. (Probably there are other utilities which need similar
modification.)

This is a bulk mport of Mike's IPX/SPX protocol stacks and all the
related gunf that goes with it..
it is not guaranteed to work 100% correctly at this time
but as we had several people trying to work on it
I figured it would be better to get it checked in so
they could all get teh same thing to work on..
Mikes been using it for a year or so
but on 2.0
more changes and stuff will be merged in from other developers now that this is in.

in the man page. ifconfig -au affects all interfaces marked as up,
and ifconfig -ad affects only the interfaces marked down. ifconfig -a
still handles everything. This change is purely for compatibility with
SunOS, for those who might be accustomed to the SunOS ifconfig's
behavior.
- The -a flag now works just as it does in SunOS: '-a' is actually
handled like a wildcard for all interfaces. 'ifconfig -a' displays
the status of all interfaces, 'ifconfig -a netmask 0xffffff00' sets
the netmask of all interfaces, and so forth. I don't know if many
people really need to be able to set the netmasks of all interfaces
at once, but the SunOS ifconfig seems to allow this, so there you
have it.
- An 'ether_status' function has been added to display the ethernet
address of all ethernet interfaces. Again, as in SunOS, you must
be root in order for this to work. The ethernet address is read
from /dev/kmem using kvm_open() and kvm_read(), much in the same
was as it's done with netstat. If you choose to install ifconfig
set-gid kmem then normal users will be able to see the ethernet
address as well, though this may not be desireable. This feature
requires a small change to the ifconfig Makefile: you need to link
with -lkvm in order to use the kvm_*() functions.
