Interface description support
Hi,
I would like to propose a feature: a description of a network interface.
(FreeBSD and OpenBSD support this feature.)
Here is a patch.
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/maleic1618/f4881717cbd3b1e3182984f9773b1001/raw/114b5d6c4fbe1fd9cd473fdc802b003c072c2794/description.patch
The sammary of this patch is:
ioctl(2):
- support the commands SIOCGIFDESCR/SIOCSIFDESCR to get/set the description.
ifconfig(8):
- add the commands description,descr/-description,-descr to set/clear
the description.
Could you comment on this patch?
I hope that this patch will be merged.
Thanks,
