While in Arnhem, I discussed renaming the bpfilter pseudo-device to bpf. There seemed to be agreement that it would be more consistent (amongst other items, the device nodes are named /dev/bpf*, and the man page is bpf(4)). The only impact this will have on users is that config will no longer recognize bpfilter as a valid pseudo-device name. All kernel config files that have bpf enabled will have to be edited. Other than that, there should be no user-visible changes. No syscalls, ioctls, library functions or header files will be renamed. All bpf consumers will compile and run as previously, and it will not be necessary to recompile any applications to adapt to the change. A patch is enclosed below; if it passes the usual tests and nobody objects, I'll commit it. (as you can see, the only changes are s/bpfilter/bpf/ in the man page, kernel source list, and sample kernel config files) Index: src/release/picobsd/router/conf/PICOBSD =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/release/picobsd/router/conf/PICOBSD,v retrieving revision 1.7 diff -u -r1.7 PICOBSD --- PICOBSD 1998/10/25 15:31:26 1.7 +++ PICOBSD 1998/10/29 12:54:23 @@ -86,7 +86,7 @@ pseudo-device ether #pseudo-device tun 2 #pseudo-device vn -#pseudo-device bpfilter 4 +#pseudo-device bpf 4 pseudo-device ppp 4 pseudo-device pty 16 #pseudo-device gzip # Exec gzipped a.out's Index: src/share/man/man4/bpf.4 =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/share/man/man4/bpf.4,v retrieving revision 1.13 diff -u -r1.13 bpf.4 --- bpf.4 1998/05/25 07:11:41 1.13 +++ bpf.4 1998/10/29 12:56:37 @@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ .Nm bpf .Nd Berkeley Packet Filter .Sh SYNOPSIS -.Cd pseudo-device bpfilter +.Cd pseudo-device bpf .Sh DESCRIPTION The Berkeley Packet Filter provides a raw interface to data link layers in a protocol Index: src/sys/conf/files =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/conf/files,v retrieving revision 1.167 diff -u -r1.167 files --- files 1998/10/25 07:23:32 1.167 +++ files 1998/10/29 12:54:15 @@ -317,8 +317,8 @@ msdosfs/msdosfs_lookup.c optional msdosfs msdosfs/msdosfs_vfsops.c optional msdosfs msdosfs/msdosfs_vnops.c optional msdosfs -net/bpf.c optional bpfilter -net/bpf_filter.c optional bpfilter +net/bpf.c optional bpf +net/bpf_filter.c optional bpf net/bsd_comp.c optional ppp_bsdcomp #net/hostcache.c standard net/if.c standard Index: src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC,v retrieving revision 1.128 diff -u -r1.128 GENERIC --- GENERIC 1998/10/22 13:49:51 1.128 +++ GENERIC 1998/10/29 12:53:14 @@ -178,8 +178,8 @@ # options SYSVSHM -# The `bpfilter' pseudo-device enables the Berkeley Packet Filter.
