This is useful to know the 'real' status of an interface (the flag IFF_PROMISC
is exported by the kernel only when the user set it explicitly, for example it
will not be exported when a tcpdump is running).
This information will be displayed when '-details' is provided by the user.
Example:
$ ip -d l l tun10
6: tun10: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1480 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT
link/sit 10.16.0.249 peer 10.16.0.121

The 'inherit/STRING' or 'inherit/00..ff' syntax indicates that the
TOS field of tunneled packets should be copied from the original IP
header, but for non-IP packets the value STRING or 00..ff should be
used instead. (This syntax is already used by 'ip tunnel show'.)
Also clarify the man page and the command usage text (particularly
that the TOS is not specified as a decimal number).

Sometimes "ip netns delete" fails because it can not delete the file a
network namespace was mounted on. If this only happened when a
network namespace was really in use this would be fine, but today it
is possible to pin all network namespaces by simply having a long
running process started with "ip netns exec".
Every mount is copied when a network namespace is created so it is
impossible to prevent the mounts from getting into other mount
namespaces. Modify all mounts in the files and subdirectories of
/var/run/netns to be shared mount points so that unmount events can
propogate, making it unlikely that "ip netns delete" will fail because
a directory is mounted in another mount namespace.

Ben Hutchings pointed out that the return value of do_netns is passed
to exit and the current convention of returning -1 for failure is
inconsitent with that reality.
Return EXIT_FAILURE instead of -1 and EXIT_SUCCESS instead of 0. To make
it clear that the return codes are expected to be passed to exit.

Some systems are now following the advice in
linux/Documentation/sharedsubtrees.txt and running with all mount
points shared between all mount namespaces by default.
After creating the mount namespace call mount on / with
MS_SLAVE|MS_REC to modify all mounts in the new mount namespace to
slave mounts if they are shared or private mounts otherwise.
Guarnateeing that changes to the mount namespace created with
"ip netns exec" don't propgate to other namespaces.

mroute was using /proc/net/ip_mr_[vif|cache] to display mroute entries. Hence,
only RT_TABLE_DEFAULT was displayed and only IPv4.
With rtnetlink, it is possible to display all tables for IPv4 and IPv6. The output
format is kept. Also, like before the patch, statistics are displayed when user specify
the '-s' argument.
The patch also adds the support of 'ip monitor mroute', which is now possible.

Changes since v2: fix merge conflict
Changes since v1:
- split "dove" flag into separate feature flags:
- "proxy" for ARP reduction
- "rsc" for route short circuiting
- "l2miss" for L2 switch miss notifications
- "l3miss" for L3 switch miss notifications

This functionality is required by checkpoint-restore project. Since the
dump and restore for routes is already done in ip tool it's naturally to
dump and restore addresses in the ip tool as well.

Some time ago the save+restore commands were added to ip route (git
id f4ff11e3, Add ip route save/restore). These two save the raw rtnl
stream into a file and restore one (reading it from stdin).
The problem is that there's no way to get the contents of the dump
file in a human readable form. The proposal is to add a command that
reads the rtnl stream from stdin and prints the data in a way the
usual "ip route list" does?
changes since v1:
* Take the magic at the beginning of the dump file into account
* Check for stdin (the dump is taken from) is not a tty

In order to somehow verify that a blob contains route dump a

`ip a s` no longer shows addresses since 3.4.0 works, but 3.5.0,
the simple test case:
make clean && make -j -s && ./ip/ip a s lo
before that change, i would get:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
but after, i now get:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
seems like the bug was introduced in the middle of that patch:
- if (filter.family != AF_PACKET) {
+ if (filter.family && filter.family != AF_PACKET) {
+ if (filter.oneline)
+ no_link = 1;
+
if (rtnl_wilddump_request(&rth, filter.family, RTM_GETADDR) < 0) {
perror("Cannot send dump request");
exit(1);
if i revert the change to the if statement there, `ip a s` works for me again.

Fix memory leak of address and link nlmsg info.
Avoid fetching address info if only flushing.
