How about "setfib"?
I strongly believe we should deprecate the use of the term "routing" where
the BSD forwarding plane is concerned, whilst familiar to many it is
misleading as to what that part of the system is actually doing.
maybe, but it would be a large surprise to everyone who expects that
structure be be called the routing table as it still is in most systems.
Life is like a clock: You can work constantly
and be right all the time, or not work at all
and be right at least twice a day. -- mrc
Things changed the last 13-15 years (route.c should be about that old).
I'd suggest that if you do it, do it all right, like BMS says, or why did
you ask in first place?
In OpenBSD they have decided to call the in-kernel decriptor 'id' but I'd
rather go with tableid or maybe tbl_num, because 'id' is too generic.
'tid' is already thread id.
Both id or tableid are, for telling you what it is, like 'void' if
there is no strong context. I can easily think of a dozen different
'tables' and even more 'ids'.
I'd suggest to go with any kind of spelling of 'fibid', 'fib_id',
'FIBid', or ... as that's what it is called these days.

Software is harder than hardware so better get it right the first time.
