Hi all,

I believe there is a bug in rtnetlink(3) man page (http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/rtnetlink.3.html). There seem to be an error in the example code (the EXAMPLE section). The line:

rta->rta_len = sizeof(unsigned int);

should be:

rta->rta_len = RTA_LENGTH(sizeof(unsigned int));

Can anyone please confirm if I'm right?

Someone just did.

See my next mail.

Cheers,

Michael
