Re: iproute2 bug in json output for encap

[Lars Ekman <uablrek@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. You are right, it is jq that eats one ot the
double "dst" items.

vm-002 ~ # ip -j -p route show proto 5
[ {
        "dst": "192.168.11.0/24",
        "encap": "ip6",
        "id": 0,
        "src": "::",
        "dst": "fd00::c0a8:2dd",
        "hoplimit": 0,
        "tc": 0,
        "dev": "dummy0",
        "scope": "link",
        "flags": [ ]
    } ]
vm-002 ~ # ip -j -p route show proto 5 | jq
[
  {
    "dst": "fd00::c0a8:2dd",
    "encap": "ip6",
    "id": 0,
    "src": "::",
    "hoplimit": 0,
    "tc": 0,
    "dev": "dummy0",
    "scope": "link",
    "flags": []
  }
]

Sorry for the fuss.

Best Regards,

Lars Ekman


And btw I did upgrade *before* posting :-)

vm-002 ~ # ip -V
ip utility, iproute2-6.2.0, libbpf 1.1.0
vm-002 ~ # uname -r
