Technically, the range of possible hoplimit values are defined by IPv4
and IPv6 header formats. Both define the field to be eight bits in size,
which leads to a value range of [0;255]. Setting a packet's hoplimit
field to 0 though makes not much sense, as the next hop would
immediately drop the packet. Therefore Linux uses 0 as a special value
indicating to use the system's default hoplimit (configurable via
sysctl). In iproute, setting the hoplimit of a route to 0 is equivalent
to omitting the hoplimit parameter alltogether, so it is actually not
necessary to allow that value to be specified, but keep it anyway for
backwards compatibility.

Linux version 3.1 introduced a consistency check for netlink dumps in
commit 670dc28 ("netlink: advertise incomplete dumps"). This bites
iproute2 when flushing more addresses than can fit into a single
RTM_GETADDR response. To silence the spurious error message "Dump was
interrupted and may be inconsistent.", advise rtnl_dump_filter_l() to
not care about NLM_F_DUMP_INTR.

Since it's no longer relevant whether an IP address is primary or
secondary when flushing, ipaddr_flush() can be simplified a bit.

I found recently that, if I disabled address promotion in the kernel, that
ip addr flush dev <dev>
would fail with an EADDRNOTAVAIL errno (though the flush operation would in fact
flush all addresses from an interface properly)
Whats happening is that, if I add a primary and multiple secondary addresses to
an interface, the flush operation first ennumerates them all with a GETADDR |
DUMP operation, then sends a delete request for each address. But the kernel,
having promotion disabled, deletes all secondary addresses when the primary is
removed. That means, that several delete requests may still be pending in the
netlink request for addresses that have been removed on our behalf, resulting in
EADDRNOTAVAIL return codes.
It seems the simplest thing to do is to understand that EADDRUNAVAIL isn't a
fatal outcome on a flush operation, as it just indicates that an address which
you want to remove is already removed, so it can safely be ignored.

Despite commit 45a82e5 ("iproute vxlan add support for fdb replace
command"), the 'fdb replace' command was not mentioned in bridge.8.

The algorithm depends on the loop counter ('i') to increment by one in
each iteration. Though if running endlessly (count==0), the counter was
not incremented at all.
Also change formatting of the header printing conditional a bit so it's
hopefully easier to read.

- Drop 'extern' keyword from all function prototypes.
- Make line breaking of print_* functions consistent.
- Make print_ntable() and ipntable_reset_filter() static and remove
their declaration.
- Drop declaration of non-existent ipaddr_list() and iproute_monitor().

Since p->name is only IFNAMSIZ bytes, do not copy more than IFNAMSIZ - 1
bytes into it so there remains at least a single null byte in the end.

Instead of parsing an unsigned integer and checking boundaries, simply
parse u8. This and the added ttl alias 'hlim' provide consistency with
ip6tunnel.

In iptunnel, declare loop variables inside the loop as done in
ip6tunnel.
Fix and simplify goto logic in ip6tunnel:
- Failure to read over header lines would have left fp opened.
- By returning directly upon fopen() failure, fp can be closed
unconditionally in the end.
Use the same goto logic in iptunnel, as well.

Instead of duplicating the same code six times (key, ikey and okey in
iptunnel and ip6tunnel), have a common parsing routine. This has the
added benefit of having the same verbose error message in ip6tunnel as
well as iptunnel.
I'm not sure if parsing an IPv4 address as key makes sense for
ip6tunnel, but the code was there before so this patch at least doesn't
make it worse.

Instead of statically complaining about illegal inet address, use

Based on a patch by Hangbin Liu to print "inet6" for AF_INET6 made more
