Subject: [RFC 04/12] conf: Apply -n/--netmask to most recently added address
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2025 20:54:33 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251215015441.887736-5-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251215015441.887736-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>
We allow for multiple -n/--netmask options, and update the handling so
that each given prefix length is applied to the most recently added
address instead of always to addrs[0].
This allows per-address prefix configuration, such as:
-a 10.0.0.1 -n 24 -a 10.0.0.2 -n 16
If no address has been added yet, -n still applies to addrs[0] for
backwards compatibility.
