I don't have so much experience with such software, a bit surprised, it's not portable/trivial to iterate addresses while 0.0.0.0 just works

This is software (and esp 1990s software). Why do anything the portable/trivial way when you have have 1000
#ifdefs? -
Didn't so much like existing APIs, Sortix is getting yet another network interface interface. Unfinished and simple. https://users-cs.au.dk/~sortie/sortix/release/volatile/man/man4/if.4.html …

It also will fall over on IPv6 where your average machine rotates temporary IP addresses every hour :P
-
What?!
-
On IPv6 machines will create, for each advertised prefix, a permanent IPv6 address (from MAC) and a temporary one (random)
-
The temporary ones are rotated regularly (the old ones are kept around for a while as "deprecated" to keep old sockets open)
-
Is there a purpose other than breaking things?

But the prefix alone compromises privacy.
-
Depends upon how often your ISP changes your prefix. Also, the same suffix is used across all prefixes...
