That would certainly help in portability; i will take a closer look on what you did for libnl and see how well it applies for iproute2. Stephen, I have some cycles today - I am going to assume no-response from you implies ok on the change i sent earlier - so i will work on adding additional changes on top of the one i sent earlier to fixup the pretty printing (which is not as serious a regression IMO as breakage of the output). cheers, jamal
