Re: [libvirt] [PATCHv2 2/4] network: provide internal API to return IP of a network
On 07/20/2011 02:11 AM, Laine Stump wrote:
The new listenNetwork atribute needs to learn an IP address based on

networkGetNetworkAddress
which provides that.
Some networks have an IP address explicitly in their configuration
(ie, those with a forward type of "none", "route", or
"nat"). For
those, we can just return the IP address from the config.
The rest will have a physical device associated with them (either via
<bridge name='...'/>,<forward ... dev='...'/>, or possibly
via a pool
of interfaces inside the network's<forward> element) and we will need
to ask the kernel for the current IP address of that device (via the
s/the current/a current/ - the kernel may know more than one, but we
only care about finding at least one (and as you pointed out in the
previous patch, you only get the first).
newly added ifaceGetIPAddress
Missing )
If networkGetNetworkAddress encounters an error while trying to learn
the address for a network, it will return -1. In the case that libvirt
has been compiled without the network driver, a static inline version
of the function, which returns -2, will be used. This allows
differentiating between a failure of the network driver, and its
complete absence.

It might have an IPv6 address though, so touch up the error message:

Coverity will probably gripe at this one. We may need to re-word this:

direct-mode interface */
