The confusion isn't over whether or not these are read-only; but about whether or not you're implementing link properties that are visible through show-linkprop, or just using a private mechanism to obtain some values that are only displayed by show-ib. The term "link property" (as described in the dladm(1M) man page) refers to things displayed by show-linkprop. In any case, we can sort this out off-list and make sure that we have the details disambiguated in the new spec. -Seb
