This tool applies hardware specific settings to network devices before they
are announced via libudev.
Settings that will probably eventually be supported are MTU, Speed,
DuplexMode, WakeOnLan, MACAddress, MACAddressPolicy (e.g., 'hardware',
'synthetic' or 'random'), Name and NamePolicy (replacing our current
interface naming logic). This patch only introduces support for
Description, as a proof of concept.
Some of these settings may later be overriden by a network management
daemon/script. However, these tools should always listen and wait on libudev
before touching a device (listening on netlink is not enough). This is no
different from how things used to be, as we always supported changing the
network interface name from udev rules, which does not work if someone
has already started using it.
The tool is configured by .link files in /etc/net/links/ (with the usual
overriding logic in /run and /lib). The first (in lexicographical order)
matching .link file is applied to a given device, and all others are ignored.
The .link files contain a [Match] section with (currently) the keys
MACAddress, Driver, Type (see DEVTYPE in udevadm info) and Path (this
matches on the stable device path as exposed as ID_PATH, and not the
unstable DEVPATH). A .link file matches a given device if all of the
specified keys do. Currently the keys are treated as plain strings,
but some limited globbing may later be added to the keys where it
makes sense.
Example:
/etc/net/links/50-wireless.link
[Match]
MACAddress=98:f2:e4:42:c6:92
Path=pci-0000:02:00.0-bcma-0
Type=wlan
[Link]
Description=The wireless link
This matches the bcma support in the network device naming.
Eventually wa want to make sure ID_PATH is equivalent to ID_NET_NAME_PATH,
so we never need to match on the latter.
Just use an unsigned int as a bool type to avoid issues in the public
message reading API; sizeof(bool) == 1, but the code copies 4 bytes at
the pointers destination.

-Og Optimize debugging experience. -Og enables optimizations that do
not interfere with debugging. It should be the optimization level of
choice for the standard edit-compile-debug cycle, offering a
reasonable level of optimization while maintaining fast compilation
and a good debugging experience.
Changing the default MODE= for the group accessi, but not specifying
a GROUP= does not provide anything.
It disables the default logic that the mode switches to 0660 as soon
as a GROUP= is specifed, which make custom rules uneccesarily complicated.

Messages with log levels above the current maximum log level will be dropped
inside log_meta(). But to be able to call the function, all parameters for
the function need to be provided. This can easily get expensive, if values
need to be calculated or functions are used in parameters.
Avoid all useless work by checking inside the macro, before we look
at any parameters passed to the logging functions.
Always add the default AM_CFLAGS first.
If variables are used in conditionals, the default assignment
of AM variables is disabled, even when the conditional is not
in use; foo_CFLAGS = $(AM_CFLAGS) is needed, even when it looks
like a no-op.
* Standardize on "nonblocking" spelling, per Linux man pages.
* Clarify that the nonblocking sockets are never in a "blocking"
or "unblocked" state, just a "would block" or "ready" state.
fsck-root is redundant in case an initrd is used, or in case the rootfs
is never remounted 'rw', so the new default is the correct behavior for
most users. For the rest, they should enable it in fstab.
