INET6_OPTION_SPACE(3)

📦 version 15.1, in freebsd 14.5, freebsd 15.1

💅 NAME 💅

okay so this page is the home of inet6_option_space(3) and its whole squad — inet6_option_init, inet6_option_append, inet6_option_alloc, inet6_option_next, and inet6_option_find — and together they're all about IPv6 Hop-by-Hop and Destination Option Manipulation. iykyk 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

bestie. i have to be so fr with you rn. 😭 the functions that were documented in this manual page are now deprecated — like, fully retired, no cap — in favor of the ones described in inet6_opt_init(3).

so please, for the love of everything, refer to that manual page for information on how to manipulate IPv6 Hop-by-Hop and Destination options. it's giving glow-up, it's giving main character energy. the old way had its moment, but that moment has passed 🎀

ngl, deprecated doesn't mean "gone", it means "go read the new page" — inet6_opt_init(3) is right there and it ate 💅

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

  • inet6_opt_init(3) — the icon, the moment, the one you should actually be reading 🔥

🫶 okay that's the whole page, she's short and sweet — this was INET6_OPTION_SPACE(3) from Debian, dated January 24, 2005, and she's officially retired. go read inet6_opt_init(3) bestie, ily, bye 💖✨
