Subject: [PATCH v6 05/13] conf: Allow multiple -a/--address options per address family
Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 20:43:25 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260322004333.365713-6-jmaloy@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260322004333.365713-1-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>
---
v2: - Adapted to previous code changes
v3: - Adapted to single-array strategy
- Changes according to feedback from S. Brivio and G Gibson.
v4: - Stripped down and adapted after feedback from David G.
v6: - Adapted to previous changes in series
- Removed the "one address" limitation for -n option
