Address feedback from hrs@ re: r301059 (ifconfig subnet mask)

- Use NI_MAXHOST to size buffers for getnameinfo()
- remove non-standard 'full' inet6 address printing
- remove 'no scope' option
- use strchr(3) to optimize replacing separator character in lladdrs

# 301059 31-May-2016 allanjude

ifconfig(8) now supports some output formatting options

specified by the -f flag or IFCONFIG_FORMAT environment variable, the user
can request that inet4 subnet masks be printed in CIDR or dotted-quad
notation, in addition to the traditional hex output.
inet6 prefixes can be printed in CIDR as well.

For more documentation see the ifconfig(8) man page.

# 299873 16-May-2016 truckman

Use strlcpy() instead of strncpy() when copying ifname to ensure
that it is NUL terminated. Additional NUL padding is not required
for short names.

Use sizeof(destination) in a few places instead of IFNAMSIZ.

Cast afp->af_ridreq and afp->af_addreq to make the intent of
the code more obvious.

# 228574 16-Dec-2011 glebius

Since size of struct in_aliasreq has just been changed in r228571,
and thus ifconfig(8) needs recompile, it is a good chance to make
parameter checks on SIOCAIFADDR arguments more strict.


# 228571 16-Dec-2011 glebius

A major overhaul of the CARP implementation. The ip_carp.c was started
from scratch, copying needed functionality from the old implemenation
on demand, with a thorough review of all code. The main change is that
interface layer has been removed from the CARP. Now redundant addresses
are configured exactly on the interfaces, they run on.

The CARP configuration itself is, as before, configured and read via
SIOCSVH/SIOCGVH ioctls. A new prefix created with SIOCAIFADDR or
SIOCAIFADDR_IN6 may now be configured to a particular virtual host id,
which makes the prefix redundant.

ifconfig(8) semantics has been changed too: now one doesn't need
to clone carpXX interface, he/she should directly configure a vhid
on a Ethernet interface.

To supply vhid data from the kernel to an application the getifaddrs(8)
function had been changed to pass ifam_data with each address. [1]

The new implementation definitely closes all PRs related to carp(4)
being an interface, and may close several others. It also allows
to run a single redundant IP per interface.

Big thanks to Bjoern Zeeb for his help with inet6 part of patch, for
idea on using ifam_data and for several rounds of reviewing!

# 227738 19-Nov-2011 glebius

For unknown reason, since rev 1.1 of ifconfig.c, sin_family isn't
set properly for the mask argument.

Since I'd like to improve argument sanity checking in kernel
side, in in_control(), fix this.


# 224179 18-Jul-2011 bz

If compiling RESCUE always ignore feature_present(3) calls so that
a /rescue/ifconfig more modern than the kernel could still configure
IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.

# 222527 31-May-2011 bz

Conditionally compile in the af_inet and af_inet6, af_nd6 modules.
If compiled in for dual-stack use, test with feature_present(3)
to see if we should register the IPv4/IPv6 address family related
options.

In case there is no "inet" support we would love to go with the
usage() and make the address family mandatory (as it is for anything
but inet in theory). Unfortunately people are used to
ifconfig IF up/down
etc. as well, so use a fallback of "link". Adjust the man page
to reflect these minor details.

Improve error handling printing a warning in addition to the usage
telling that we do not know the given address family in two places.

# 202289 14-Jan-2010 emaste

Reject invalid CIDR widths rather than silently stopping at the first
non-digit character.

Due to an issue with rc(8) in a test configuration, ifconfig was being
invoked with the address used again as the width - for example,

ifconfig vlan0 10.0.0.1/10.0.0.1

Prior to this change, that address/width would be interpreted as
10.0.0.1/10.


# 194799 23-Jun-2009 delphij

- Use size_t instead of int when appropriate;
- Use C99 sparse initialization.

With these changes ifconfig(8) is WARNS=2 clean.

# 138593 08-Dec-2004 sam

Overhaul to cleanup some of the tangled logic that's grown over the years.

o break per-address family support out into separate files
o modularize per-address family and functional operations using
a registration mechanism; this permits configuration according
to which files you include (but beware that order of the files
is important to insure backwards compatibility)
o many cleanups to eliminate incestuous behaviour, global variables,
and poor coding practices (still much more to fix)

The original motivation of this work was to support dynamic addition
of functionality based on the interface so we can eliminate the various
little control programs and so that vendors can distribute ifconfig
plugins that support their in-kernel code. That work is still to be
completed.

o Update 802.11 support for all the new net80211 functionality; some
of these operations (e.g. list *) may be better suited in a different
program
