Hello, Are there any interface ioctl() function calls, similar to the SIOCGIFaaa calls, that we could use to retrieve data about IPv6 interfaces? Thanks! Kristine Adamson IBM Communications Server for MVS: TCP/IP Development Internet e-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks for the feedback. Was there ever any discussion in the IPv6 working group in regards to creating a standard set of ioctl() function calls, similar to the SIOCGIFaaa ioctls, the could either be used wit IPv6 interfaces, or which could be used with both IPv4 and IPv6 interfaces (i.e.,
