Subject: [PATCH v4 07/12] conf: Allow multiple -a/--address options per address family
Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2026 17:18:09 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260217221814.4053583-8-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260217221814.4053583-1-jmaloy@redhat.com>
Allow specifying multiple addresses per family with -a/--address.
The first address of each family is used for DHCP/DHCPv6 assignment.
Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jmaloy@redhat.com>
