Bruce M Simpson d508ff40b9 Improve ifmcstat(8) and fix a few bugs while we're at it:
* Retire the old 'ifmcstat <kernel>' usage.
 * Print AF_LINK records even if run against KVM.
   This makes the KVM backend consistent with the sysctl backend.
 * Suppress printing of link-layer group records by default.
 * Add a -v switch to allow link-layer groups to be printed.
 * If compiled without INET6 support, actually work.
 * If compiled with INET6 support, print the scope ID of
   all IPv6 addresses in both backends.
 * Update man page.
 * Update copyrights.

With this change, it is now reasonable to retire netstat -g.
Most of the SSM related gunk in this file will require later refactoring.

.Sh NAME
.Nm ifmcstat
.Nd dump multicast group management statistics per interface
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl i Ar interface
.Op Fl f Ar address-family
.Op Fl v
.Op Fl M Ar core
.Op Fl N Ar system
.\"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
command dumps multicast group information from the kernel.
.Pp
The following options are supported:
.Bl -tag -width Fl
.It Fl i Ar interface
specifies the interface to be displayed.
.Pp
.It Fl f Ar address-family
specifies the address family to be displayed;
.Ar inet ,
.Ar inet6
and
.Ar link
are supported.
.It Fl v
specifies that link-layer memberships should be printed;
they are suppressed by default.
It may not be specified for
.Fl f Ar link .
.El
.Pp
The following options are only available if
.Nm
has been built with support for
.Xr kvm 3 :
.Bl -tag -width Fl
.It Fl M Ar core
extracts values associated with the name list from the specified core,
instead of the default
.Pa /dev/kmem .
.It Fl N Ar system
extracts the name list from the specified kernel instead of the
default, which is the kernel image the system has booted from.
.El
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
When run with the
.Fl v
option,
.Nm
may print multicast MAC addresses twice if they are
referenced by a layer 3 protocol.
.Pp
When run with
.Xr kvm 3
support,
the names of all interfaces configured in the system will be
printed in the first column of output, even if no multicast
group memberships are present on those interfaces.
The output may also be slightly different, as the kernel
data structures are being traversed with minimal post-processing
of the output.
.Pp
When built without
.Xr kvm 3
support, the information displayed by
.Nm
is more limited.
This support is recommended for debugging purposes.
It requires super-user privilege if used to inspect a running kernel.
.Xr kvm 3
will be used by default if
.Nm
is run with super-user privileges.
