crossbow discuss - Nov 2006 - merging with dladm/libdladm post-WiFi

Teams,

As many of you are aware, the WiFi/GLDv3 wad that went into build 54 made
extensive changes to dladm and libdladm.  As such, some care will be
needed when merging with build 54.  Some things to be aware of:

   1. Warnings and fatal errors in dladm.c are now handled by a set of
      new warn() and die() functions (their introduction shrank dladm.c
      by over 500 lines (12%) -- see 6496846 for details).  Please be
      sure any new dladm.c code makes use of these routines, rather than
      naked fprintf() and gettext() calls.

   2. Some other small general improvements, such as cmdfunc_t (for
      subcommand function declarations) and str2int() (for simple
      string->integer conversions) have been added.  Please make use of
      these so that dladm.c remains consistent.

   3. The libdladm library now has a dladm_status2str() function to map
      error status values to strings.  Please be sure any new libdladm
      error codes you''ve introduced are known to it.

Please let me or the rest of the WiFi team (wifi-dladm at sun.com) know if
any additional help is needed.

Thanks!
