This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
This is similar to TAKE_PTR() but operates on file descriptors, and thus
assigns -1 to the fd parameter after returning it.
Removes 60 lines from our codebase. Pretty good too I think.
Add a function that creates a UDP socket bound to the given interface
and optionally to an IPv6 address. Add another function that will
send the DHCPv6 UDP packet to its destination.
Using IPV6_PKTINFO in setsockopt to bind the IPv6 socket to an
interface is documented in section 4. of RFC 3542, "Advanced Sockets
Application Program Interface (API) for IPv6"
Add a define for DHCPv6 Relay Agents and Servers multicast address as
its not available elsewhere.
Provide functions to bind the ICMPv6 socket to the approriate interface
and set multicast sending and receiving according to RFC 3493, section
5.2. and RFC 3542, sections 3. and 3.3. Filter out all ICMPv6 messages
except Router Advertisements for the socket in question according to
RFC 3542, section 3.2.
Send Router Solicitations to the all routers multicast group as
described in RFC 4861, section 6. and act on the received Router
Advertisments according to section 6.3.7.
Implement a similar API for ICMPv6 handling as is done for DHCPv4 and
DHCPv6.
