Subject: [PATCH v2 6/9] conf: Allow multiple -a/--address options per address family
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2026 17:16:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260118221612.2115386-7-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260118221612.2115386-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>

We enable configuration of multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses by allowing
repeated use of the -a/--address option.

- We update option parsing to append addresses to the addrs[] array.
- Each address specified via -a does initially get a class-based default
  prefix.
- If no -a option is given, address and prefix are inherited from
  the template interface.
- If a prefix length is to be added, it has to be done in CIDR format,
  except for the very first address.
- We configure all indicated addresses in the namespace interface.
