Issue #3306 has been updated by tuxillo.
@dillon, I've gone ahead and pushed the modified version from aly to the repo. The buffer to set the description is allocated with M_ZERO so I thought it was good enough. @aly, thanks I've pushed the patch with your mods. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3306: Add description support for ifconfig(8) http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/3306#change-14295 * Author: tuxillo * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Category: Userland * Target version: 6.4 * Start date: 2021-11-12 ---------------------------------------- Is there a chance the 'ifconfig NIC description XXX' functionality will sync with the FreeBSD ? This is a fairly popular option. <pre> # ifconfig vlan1 description vm1-vlan ifconfig: description: bad value </pre> OpenBSD also has a similar capability[1], as NetBSD as well[2] Thanks! __ fn1. https://man.openbsd.org/ifconfig.8 fn2. https://man.netbsd.org/ifconfig.8 ---Files-------------------------------- 01-if-descr.patch (11.7 KB) 01-if-descr.aly.diff (11.8 KB) -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
