Command "monitor" is unknown, try "ip route help".

(I guess what was really intended is "ip monitor route", so just remove
the argument from the help output.)

While at it, also drop all non-existant (route,link,netns) monitor
arguments from the ip(8) man page.

The "ip monitor" command does properly decode the "preferred" and
"valid" lifetime records in router advertisements from netlink
messages.

Basic configuration support for QFQ.
Still need to add manual page.

redo.

The goal of this code change is to implement a mechanism such that it is
simple to work with a kernel that is using multiple network namespaces
at once.

This comes in handy for interacting with vpns where there may be rfc1918
address overlaps, and different policies default routes, name servers
and the like.

Configuration specific to a network namespace that would ordinarily be
stored under /etc/ is stored under /etc/netns/<name>.  For example if
the dns server configuration is different for your vpn you would create
a file /etc/netns/myvpn/resolv.conf.

File descriptors that can be used to manipulate a network namespace can
be created by opening /var/run/netns/<NAME>.

This adds the following commands to iproute.
ip netns add NAME
ip netns delete NAME
ip netns monitor
ip netns list
ip netns exec NAME cmd ....
ip link set DEV netns NAME

ip netns exec exists to cater the vast majority of programs that only
know how to operate in a single network namespace.  ip netns exec
changes the default network namespace, creates a new mount namespace,
remounts /sys and bind mounts netns specific configuration files to
their standard locations.

getline() returns -1 on EOF, need to not loose that by forcing
result to size_t (unsigned).

iptables/xtables apparently changed API again.... Now you need to pass
and extra parameter (orig_opts) which was not needed before.

Sprinkle some lovely pre-processor magic to be compatible with both older
and new versions. In the beginning of times XTABLES_VERSION_CODE didn't
exist. Then it was (0x10000 * major + 0x100 * minor + patch) when it was
first introduced (according to git), but now it's at 6...
Don't know what official iptables releases has defined it to over time.
Lets just hope none of the older versions with is has the define
higher then 6 is still around.... so only the "current" versioning
scheme is supported.... lets see how long this lasts now.

For the API change in xtables, see:

This patch removes unreachable, useless code.
Signed-off-by: Petr Sabata <contyk@redhat.com>

The ip(8) man page and the "ip xfrm [ XFRM-OBJECT ] help" command output
are updated to include missing options, fix errors, and improve grammar.
There are no functional changes made.

The documentation for the ip command has many different meanings for the
same formatting symbols (which really needs to be fixed). This patch makes
consistent use of brackets [ ] to indicate optional parameters, pipes | to
mean "OR", braces { } to group things together, and dashes - instead of
underscores _ inside of parameter names. The parameters are listed in the
order in which they are parsed in the source code.

There are several parameters and options that are still not mentioned or
need to be described more thoroughly in the "COMMAND SYNTAX" section of
the ip(8) man page. I would appreciate help from the developers with this.

This changes mqprio input format to be more user friendly.

Old usage,

 # ./tc/tc qdisc add dev eth3 root mqprio help
Usage: ... mqprio [num_tc NUMBER] [map P0 P1...]
                  [offset txq0 txq1 ...] [count cnt0 cnt1 ...] [hw 1|0]

New usage,

 # ./tc/tc qdisc add dev eth3 root mqprio help
Usage: ... mqprio [num_tc NUMBER] [map P0 P1 ...]
                  [queues count1@offset1 count2@offset2 ...] [hw 1|0]

Add mqprio qdisc support. Output matches the following,

snprintf was being called with environment variable.
If variable had format string (like %s) then program would crash.

If expected proc headers are missing, catch and print error.

The genl code uses constructs which violate the strict aliasing
constraints of gcc 4.4. Disable the optimization to avoid warnings
and potential breakage.
