Mostly I like this, having reviewed the documentation on the website as
well.
A few things I'd like to see in this case before I assert +1:
1) a list of the actual interfaces (routines) provided... you'll
need to provide man pages for them anyway, so this shouldn't be too
onerous ... along with commitment levels for each (probably all Uncommitted)
2) a list of interfaces being *imported*, along with the stability
for each, for any non-public interfaces. (I suspect that it uses
several such interfaces, although I've not checked the code. Some of
the details may be challenging to collect.)
3) for Network interfaces, I'd like to know how it collects the
details -- does it use libdlpi? Does it use kstats? libdladm? Will
it show up vnics and other crossbow kinds of pseudo-interfaces?
