HPUX network ioctls information

Prasanna Harishchandra — Wed, 04 Apr 2007 08:14:45 GMT

Hi,

I am searching for any document that describes various HPUX network ioctls, their input structures, return values/structures etc. For example, SIOCADDRT.

I am specifically interested in ioctls related to IPv6.

Can you please point me to the relevant docs?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the links. I see that the doc points to the headers where I can get the list of ioctls. This information is useful.

What I am also interested in is the specifications of various networking ioctls. I mean what input structures (and fields in those structures) do these ioctls expect, what return structures do these ioctls fill in, etc.

I am yet to take a look at Robert-Jan's DDG link. Hoping it would solve the ioctl mystery.
