From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Corinna Vinschen To: cygwin Subject: Changes in Network code Date: Wed, 07 Feb 2001 15:37:00 -0000 Message-id: <20010208003652.H23481@cygbert.vinschen.de> X-SW-Source: 2001-02/msg00382.html Just FYI. I just checked in a change to the Cygwin CVS repository which changes the internal behaviour of ioctl calls on sockets. This applies to SIOCGIFADDR, SIOCGIFNETMASK and SIOCGIFBRDADDR. The old functions used on 9x and NT are now only used on Win95 and NT <= SP3. The function former used on W2K is completely rewritten to use the IP Helper API instead of registry access. It's now called on 98/ME, NT >= SP4 and W2K. Furthermore, the ioctl calls SIOCGIFHWADDR, SIOCGIFMETRIC and SIOCGIFMTU are now supported. They are only supported when using the new function so they are faked on Win95 and NT <= SP3. And a minor additional change: The loopback interface is now called "lo" as it is in Linux instead of the former "lo0".
