Hi,
In the manual pages of the rtadvd command it is mentioned that =
"If there is no configuration file entry for an interface, or if the
configuration file does not exist altogether, rtadvd sets all the paramet=
ers
to their default values. In particular, rtadvd reads all the interface r=
outes
from the routing table and advertises them as on-link prefixes."
I found that the getconfig() in the config.c module initializes one rain=
fo
structure for a perticular interface given with the command & links it to=
the
global rainfo structure array.
The getconfig() checks for the configuration file to use. If the user has=
specified a configuration file through the -c option in the rtadvd comman=
d
then he uses that one else he uses the default "/etc/rtadvd.conf". =
My doubt is this.
Assume that i have not called rtadvd with -c option nor i have a file cal=
led
"rtadvd.conf" in the "/etc" directory.
a)How are this rainfo structure getting initialized? (I mean which =
=
function is doing it).
b)Whether any other module other than getconfig() initializes rainfo =
=
structures & puts it to the list.
=
Kindly reply.
regards
ravi prasad
