Question about SIOCGIFCONF

From: Jeffrey Merkey
Date: Thu May 27 2010 - 23:03:02 EST


Why is SIOGICONF only instrumented to return a single interface lo for
example. I noticed that ifconfig always uses /proc/net/dev but the
older SIOCGIFCONF ioctl seems to be busted. Anyone have an
explanation or is this just how the shit is these days or is the
fucking thing broken (seems to be). ?
