Anyone up for adding text to the scopeid field in the ifconfig(8)
output for IPv6 addresses? Other OSes do. To avoid too much
disruption to the current format, the text is appended after the
currently printed hexadecimal field.
Example:
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
inet6 fe80::290:27ff:fe13:2540%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5(site-local)
While we're at it, update the in6.h file to include all scopes
in RFC4291.
Look OK? Anyone up for applying these?
This kind of output might be cooler?
inet6 fe80::290:27ff:fe13:2540%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scope site
Yes, I would want something like this too, we don't really need the numbers.
I'd go with something number+space+text as that going to least likely
break existing scripts (unless they match on line end;).
Another thing I am worried about is the output getting more likely
80 chars which is a bit of a pain.

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