Hello,
In addition to IPv6 Basic & Advanced Sockets API document, I had a worry
whether there would be any use trying to make some other API's more
useful.
For example, currently there is no standard (or even "semi-standard") way
of getting IPv6 address(es) of a node. With IPv4 you can get this via
ioctls or e.g. netlink. Netlink is notably a Linux-only thing.
For application portability I would gather it might be nice to have some,
if not a standard, at least something many similar vendors (e.g. Unix,
Linux+BSD, ...) support.
Any thoughts whether this would be useful and what would be the right
path to take?
