>Description:
        link_addr(3) accepts many strings that do not meet the spec for a
        link-level address given in "man 3 link_addr".

        E.g., all these are accepted

            wi0.a.b.c.d.e.f (first dot should be a colon)
            wi0.aw.b.c.d.e.f (aw does not belong in a valid link-level
                              address)
            wi0:10x20x30x40x50x60    (you get the idea)

>How-To-Repeat:
        This program, which parses its first argument using link_addr,
        accepts strings that are not valid link-level addresses as
        defined in the man page for link_addr(3).

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <net/if_dl.h>

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        struct sockaddr_dl sdl;
        if (argc < 2) {
                fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s lladdr\n", argv[0]);
                exit(1);
        }
        sdl.sdl_len = sizeof(sdl);
        link_addr(argv[1], &sdl);
        if (sdl.sdl_len == 0) {
                fprintf(stderr, "%s: badly formed link-level address\n",
                        argv[1]);
                fprintf(stderr, "%*.*s\n", sdl.sdl_alen + 1, sdl.sdl_alen + 1,
                        "^");
                exit(1);
        }
        printf("%s\n", link_ntoa(&sdl));
        return 0;
}

        E.g., it accepts

            wi0.a.b.c.d.e.f (first dot should be a colon)
            wi0.aw.b.c.d.e.f (aw does not belong in a valid link-level
                              address)
            wi0:10x20x30x40x50x60    (you get the idea)

        Each is interpreted as

            wi0:a.b.c.d.e.f,
            wi0:a.0.b.c.d.e.f, and
            wi0:10.20.30.40.50.60,

        respectively.

>Fix:

        Replace the existing link_addr with this.

	Possibly the format for a interface name should be relaxed.

	I have not produced a patch for the man page, yet.
