Hi, I have a question about ppp daemon on Neutrino2.
I’m trying to get some information from pppd using ioclt(). I use control
codes defined in ioctl.h header. I try to put socket and file descriptor of
opened /dev/ppp0 but I’m still getting error while I call ioctl(). I hope
there is someone who know how to get ppp stats.
Thanks in advance.
Sebastian
What stats are you trying to get?

There is some stats in ppp device and it’s posible to see it typing ‘cat
/dev/ppp0’ in shell, and I hope there is some way to get it from my process
using ioctl() call with apriopriate ioctls.

cat just does the equivalent of:
fd = open("/dev/ppp0", …);
read(fd, buf, sizeof buf);

Okay, in file ioctl.h:
…
/* PPP ioctls /
/** Not in NetBSD or SUN /
#define SIOCSIFCOMPAC _IOW(‘i’, 33, struct ifreq)
#define SIOCSIFCOMPPROT _IOW(‘i’, 34, struct ifreq)
#define SIOCSIFMRU _IOW(‘i’, 35, struct ifreq)
#define SIOCGIFMRU _IOWR(‘i’, 36, struct ifreq)
#define SIOCGETU _IOWR(‘i’, 39, struct ifreq) / get unit number
/
#define SIOCSIFVJCOMP _IOW(‘i’, 40, struct ifreq) / enable/disable VJ
Compression /
/ END /
/ Not in Sun, In NetBSD /
#define SIOCGIFASYNCMAP _IOWR(‘i’, 37, struct ifreq)
#define SIOCSIFASYNCMAP _IOW(‘i’, 38, struct ifreq)
/ END ***/
#define SIOCSIFMTU _IOW(‘i’, 41, struct ifreq)
#define SIOCGIFMTU _IOWR(‘i’, 41, struct ifreq)
…
I call ioctl() with descriptor created with socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM,0)
and some of this ioctls nad proper third argument and I get error in
return. So how can I use this ioctls?
