The following reply was made to PR kern/152036; it has been noted by GNATS.
From: Nicholas Wilson <nicholas.wil...@realvnc.com> To: bug-follo...@freebsd.org, kby...@gmail.com Cc: Subject: Re: kern/152036: [libc] getifaddrs(3) returns truncated sockaddrs for netmasks Date: Tue, 06 Nov 2012 12:19:08 +0000 Note that although this is a little surprising initially, it could well be intentional. For comparison, SIOCGIFNETMASK has the same behaviour on other platforms that have sa_len, including Darwin and AIX, so FreeBSD's behaviour is in line with other implementations. Changing the behaviour of the ioctl might break someone's code.
