Libnetapi currently lacks methods to get the system routing table.
Could be implemented in various places:
In the mailing list I proposed
{{{
int32 BNetworkInterface::CountRoutes()
}}}
and
{{{
status_t BNetworkInterface::GetRouteAt(int32 index, route_entry* entry)
}}}
but since the routing table isn't interface-specific, although a single
route can of course be interface-specific, I think it could be implemented
in BNetworkRoster as a single method
{{{
status_t BNetworkRoster::GetRoutingTable(const char* interfaceName,
BObjectList<route_entry>*)
}}}
which would return a list of route_entry objects (or a more friendly class
(BRoute?)), with the option of filtering by interface name, or even
family.
Unfortunately I suspect we don't push the use of BObjectList in public
api, so we'll need to use a BList here....
Other ideas ?
