- the VALE switch now support up to 254 destinations per switch, unicast or broadcast (multicast goes to all ports). - we can attach hw interfaces and the host stack to a VALE switch, which means we will be able to use it more or less as a native bridge (minor tweaks still necessary). A 'vale-ctl' program is supplied in tools/tools/netmap to attach/detach ports the switch, and list current configuration. - the lookup function in the VALE switch can be reassigned to something else, similar to the pf hooks. This will enable attaching the firewall, or other processing functions (e.g. in-kernel openvswitch) directly on the netmap port. The internal API used by device drivers does not change. Userspace applications should be recompiled because we bump NETMAP_API as we now use some fields in the struct nmreq that were previously ignored -- otherwise, data structures are the same. Manpages will be committed separately.
# $FreeBSD$ This directory is for tools. A tool is something which is sometimes useful, and doesn't fit any of the other categories. Please make a subdir per program, and add a brief description to this file. ansify Convert K&R-style function definitions to ANSI style ath Tools specific to the Atheros 802.11 support cfi Common Flash Interface (CFI) tool commitsdb A tool for reconstructing commit history using md5 checksums of the commit logs. crypto Test and exercise tools related to the crypto framework cxgbetool A tool for the cxgbe(4) driver. cxgbtool A tool for the cxgb(4) driver. diffburst OBSOLETE: equivalent functionality is available via split -p. For example: "split -p ^diff < patchfile". See split(1). editing Editor modes and the like to help editing FreeBSD code. epfe Extract printing filter examples from printing.sgml. ether_reflect An Ethernet packet reflector for low level testing. find-sb Scan a disk for possible filesystem superblocks. gdb_regofs A simple tool that prints out a register offset table for mapping gdb(1) register numbers to struct reg and struct fpreg offsets. The tool is useful on selected platforms only. genericize Turn a kernel config into something that can more easily be diffed against the appropriate GENERIC. hcomp Compress header files by removing comments and whitespace. html-mv Rename HTML generated filenames to human readable filenames. ifinfo Uses the interface MIB to print out all the information an interface exports in an ugly form. iso Tool to compare the iso3166 and iso639 files in /usr/share/misc with the data from the master sites. iwi Tools specific to the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2225BG/2915ABG support. kdrv KernelDriver; add/list/remove third-party kernel driver source to/in/from a kernel source tree. kernelcruft Shellscript to find orphaned *.c files in /sys kerninclude Shellscript to find unused #includes in the kernel. kernxref Shellscript to cross reference symbols in the LINT kernel. kttcp An in-kernel version of the ttcp network performance tool mctest A multicast test program mid Create a Message-ID database for mailing lists. mwl Tools specific to the Marvell 88W8363 support ncpus Count the number of processors netmap Test applications for netmap(4) notescheck Check for missing devices and options in NOTES files. npe Tools specific to the Intel IXP4XXX NPE device nxge A diagnostic tool for the nxge(4) driver pciid Generate src/share/misc/pci_vendors. pciroms A tool for dumping PCI ROM images. WARNING: alpha quality. pirtool A tool for dumping the $PIR table on i386 machines at runtime. portsinfo Generate list of new ports for last two weeks. prstats Generate statistics about the PR database. recoverdisk Copy as much data as possible from a defective disk. scsi-defects Get at the primary or grown defect list of a SCSI disk. sysdoc Build a manual page with available sysctls for a specific kernel configuration. tinybsd Script to build FreeBSD embedded systems. track Track the progress of a world / kernel build vimage An interim utility for managing the virtualized network stack infrastructure. vop_table Generates a HTML document that shows all the VOP's in the kernel. vxge A diagnostic tool for the vxge(4) driver whereintheworld Summarizes "make world" output.
