🌸 NAME 🌸

ndsend — send a Neighbor Advertisement NDP packet, no cap 📣

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ndsend address interface

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so listen. The ndsend utility gets called by arpsend(8) whenever we're dealing with IPv6 addresses, and what it does is send an unsolicited Neighbor Advertisement ICMPv6 multicast packet. Like, nobody asked, and it's still announcing a given IPv6 address to all IPv6 nodes, exactly as laid out in RFC4861. Main character energy fr fr 👑

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• address — the IPv6 address you want advertised. Drop it right there in the command, that's the whole thing 🎀
• interface — the network interface the advertisement goes out from. Yes, it matters, pick the right one 🙈

---

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

ndsend returns 0 when everything went off without a hitch. Slay. But if something goes wrong, it hands back an appropriate error code:

1. 1 EXC_USAGE — usage error. You did the command wrong, bestie 😭
2. 2 EXC_SYSTEM — system error. Not your fault, the system's just like that 💔

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Say you wanna send a Neighbor Advertisement ICMPv6 on interface eth0 with IPv6 address 2001:DB8::1. Literally just:

ndsend 2001:DB8::1 eth0

Obsessed. Ate. Periodt. ⭐
