OpenSolaris VirtualBox developers, A recent thread was started on [EMAIL PROTECTED] which caught my attention:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=63220&tstart=0 I was directed at ticket #1498: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1498 There are a few issues with the discussion in this ticket which I'd like to discuss. The first is that it discusses the parsing of _non_ parseable dladm output format. The dladm(1M) man page states that "-p" is to be used for machine parseable output. The default output format without -p is for humans, is not meant to be parsed, and is subject to frequent changes. The second is that "show-dev" is obsolete, as stated in the man page. It is obsoleted by "show-phys". The third is that "show-dev" or "show-phys" are certainly not what you want to be parsing. VNICs are created over links, not physical devices. As such, I'm guessing you simply want to look at the output of "show-link" (with -p of course). You can control the fields that are output using -o. I don't need to go into too many details, it's all in the man page. The fourth is that the output format of dladm is unrelated to the Crossbow project as the first comment in the ticket suggests. The format of the dladm output was changed in OpenSolaris build 83, and was unrelated to Crossbow. On a related note, Crossbow is a project under development, so I'm really surprised to see support for it already in VirtualBox. Is this meant for people running unsupported Crossbow archives from their project page? Please followup with me or [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you'd like to discuss this. -Seb _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
