17.10 Summary
The ioctl commands that are used in network programs can be divided into six categories:
- Socket operations (Are we at the out-of-band mark?)
- File operations (set or clear the nonblocking flag)
- Interface operations (return interface list, obtain broadcast address)
- ARP table operations (create, modify, get, delete)
- Routing table operations (add or delete)
- STREAMS system (Chapter 31)
We will use the socket and file operations, and obtaining the interface list is such a common operation that we developed our own function to do this. We will use this function numerous times in the remainder of the text. Only a few specialized programs use the ioctl operations with the ARP cache and routing table.
