Marie Helene Kvello-Aune <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from Marie Helene Kvello-Aune <[email protected]> --- I believe this happens because ifconfig requires the address family (inet, inet6, link, possibly others) to be the first argument to the program. Not passing 'inet' works because there's code to make it default to 'inet' for historical/backwards compatible reasons. Essentially, ifconfig is doing exactly what the man page says it should be doing here. I have a fix for this (and other similar bad UX scenarios) on my todo, but it involves rewriting how ifconfig parse and process arguments. I won't start work on it until after libification of ifconfig (libifconfig). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
