From e9aa46ab32a45bd7fc0ad32573d1db84f5049554 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Sommerseth Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:30:30 +0200 Subject: Improved IPv6 support As the IPv6 protocol allows a single device to have more than one IPv6 address, the previous implementation did not provide all IPv6 information. It would reject all except the last parsed IPv6 address. NOTE: This implementation will break the previous API. This change removes the ethtool.etherinfo.ipv6_address and ethtool.etherinfo.ipv6_netmask members. A new member is added, ethtool.etherinfo.ipv6_addresses (in plural). This contains a tupple list containing of ethtool.etherinfo_ipv6addr objects, one object for each configured IPv6 address on the device. These objects have the following members available: .address - The IPv6 address .netmask - The IPv6 netmask (in bit notation) .scope - A string with the IPv6 address scope Example code: import ethtool devs = ethtool.get_interfaces_info('eth0') for ip6 in devs[0].ipv6_addresses: print "[%s] %s/%i" % (ip6.scope, ip6.address, ip6.netmask) Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth --- python-ethtool/etherinfo.h | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'python-ethtool/etherinfo.h') diff --git a/python-ethtool/etherinfo.h b/python-ethtool/etherinfo.h index 1b8c425..0d441a3 100644 --- a/python-ethtool/etherinfo.h +++ b/python-ethtool/etherinfo.h @@ -30,4 +30,6 @@ int get_etherinfo(struct etherinfo *ethinf, struct _nlconnection *nlc, nlQuery q void free_etherinfo(struct etherinfo *ptr); void dump_etherinfo(FILE *, struct etherinfo *); +void free_ipv6addresses(struct ipv6address *ptr); + #endif -- cgit
