/* SIOCGIFCONF:
The behavior of this ioctl varies across systems.
The "largest gap" values are the largest number of bytes I've seen
left unused at the end of the supplied buffer when there were more
entries to return. These values may of coures be dependent on the
configurations of the particular systems I was testing with.
NetBSD 1.5-alpha: The returned ifc_len is the desired amount of
space, always. The returned list may be truncated if there isn't
enough room; no overrun. Largest gap: 43. (NetBSD now has
getifaddrs.)
BSD/OS 4.0.1 (courtesy djm): The returned ifc_len is equal to or
less than the supplied ifc_len. Sometimes the entire buffer is
used; sometimes N-1 bytes; occasionally, the buffer must have quite
a bit of extra room before the next structure will be added.
Largest gap: 39.
Solaris 7,8: Return EINVAL if the buffer space is too small for all
the data to be returned, including ifc_len==0. Solaris is the only
system I've found so far that actually returns an error. No gap.
However, SIOCGIFNUM may be used to query the number of interfaces.
Linux 2.2.12 (RH 6.1 dist, x86): The buffer is filled in with as
many entries as will fit, and the size used is returned in ifc_len.
The list is truncated if needed, with no indication. Largest gap: 31.
IRIX 6.5: The buffer is filled in with as many entries as will fit
in N-1 bytes, and the size used is returned in ifc_len. Providing
exactly the desired number of bytes is inadequate; the buffer must
be *bigger* than needed. (E.g., 32->0, 33->32.) The returned
ifc_len is always less than the supplied one. Largest gap: 32.
AIX 4.3.3: Sometimes the returned ifc_len is bigger than the
supplied one, but it may not be big enough for *all* the
interfaces. Sometimes it's smaller than the supplied value, even
if the returned list is truncated. The list is filled in with as
many entries as will fit; no overrun. Largest gap: 143.
Older AIX: We're told by W. David Shambroom <DShambroom@gte.com> in
PR krb5-kdc/919 that older versions of AIX have a bug in the
SIOCGIFCONF ioctl which can cause them to overrun the supplied
buffer. However, we don't yet have details as to which version,
whether the overrun amount was bounded (e.g., one ifreq's worth) or
not, whether it's a real buffer overrun or someone assuming it was
because ifc_len was increased, etc. Once we've got details, we can
try to work around the problem.
Digital UNIX 4.0F: If input ifc_len is zero, return an ifc_len
that's big enough to include all entries. (Actually, on our
system, it appears to be larger than that by 32.) If input ifc_len
is nonzero, fill in as many entries as will fit, and set ifc_len
accordingly. (Tested only with INIT of zero.)
So... if the returned ifc_len is bigger than the supplied one,
we'll need at least that much space -- but possibly more -- to hold
all the results. If the returned value is smaller or the same, we
may still need more space.
Using this ioctl is going to be messy. Let's just hope that
getifaddrs() catches on quickly.... */
