.Dt SETFIB 2
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm setfib
|
|
.Nd set the default FIB (routing table) for the calling process
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/socket.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn setfib "int fib"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setfib
|
|
system call sets the associated fib for all sockets opened
|
|
subsequent to the call, to be that of the argument
|
|
.Fa fib .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa fib
|
|
argument
|
|
must be greater than or equal to 0
|
|
and less than the current system maximum which
|
|
may be retrieved by the
|
|
.Va net.fibs
|
|
sysctl.
|
|
The system maximum is set in the kernel configuration file with
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "options ROUTETABLES=" Ns Em N
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
or in
|
|
.Pa /boot/loader.conf
|
|
with
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl net.fibs= Ns Qq Em N
|
|
.Pp
|
|
where
|
|
.Em N
|
|
is an integer.
|
|
This maximum is capped at 65536 due to the implementation storing
|
|
the fib number in a 16-bit field in the
|
|
.Xr mbuf 9
|
|
packet header, however it is not suggested that one use such a large number
|
|
as memory is allocated for every FIB regardless of whether it is used, and
|
|
there are places where all FIBs are iterated over.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The default fib of the process will be applied to all protocol families
|
|
that support multiple fibs, and ignored by those that do not.
|
|
The default fib for a process may be overridden for a socket with the use
|
|
of the
|
|
.Dv SO_SETFIB
|
|
socket option.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Rv -std setfib
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setfib
|
|
system call
|
|
will fail and no action will be taken and return
|
|
.Er EINVAL
|
|
if the
|
|
.Fa fib
|
|
argument is greater than the current system maximum.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setfib
|
|
system call is a
|
|
.Fx
|
|
extension however similar extensions
|
|
have been added to many other
|
|
.Ux
|
|
style kernels.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn setfib
|
|
function appeared in
