pppstats information in qnx 6.4   
Hi 

we are using ppc target having limited QNX file system

I was earlier using 6.3.2 kernel and for getting statastics of PPP link we use to use  cat /dev/socket/pppmgr ..

Now these commands are no more working and more over i had seen pppstats gives this information. But when i am trying 
that i says cannot execute no such file or directory. I want to know what binary i need to add to my build other than 
pppd i need to add to get pppstats running.

Do i need to do any changes in build file ?

2nd part : In help documents it says /etc/ppp folders contains info about ppp link, but i am using host QNX and i 
connected ppp link between my target and host, but i am not able to see any such folder exisitng in host machine. what 
do i need to do ?

Thanks
Ravi

You can get number of bytes from 'netstat -inv'.  You can
get bytes, frames and a lot of other info from the
SIOCGIFDATA ioctl which populates a struct ifdatareq.

Hi 

I tried the way you suggested, first of all thank you as i got introduced to different structures over the process.

code i am using is, every time ioctl call is failing i tried "/dev/ser2" assuming that my ppp0 interface runs on ser2, i
 am not getting what i should attach as file i.e /dev/PPP0 or /dev/(process id of ppp0) etc... the error code suggests "
Inappropriate I/O control operation", so let me know wher ei am going wrong.


struct ifdata 
{
         char ifdr_name[IFNAMSIZ];
         struct if_data ifdr_data;
}ifdatareq;



int main()
{

	struct ifdatareq ifdr;
	struct if_data *ifi;
	unsigned char ifi_type; 
	int fd;
   fd = open("/dev/ser2", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY);
   while(1)
   {
        if (ioctl(fd, SIOCGIFDATA, &ifdr) == -1)
       {
	perror("Socket Bind failed\n");	
	printf( "That means(%d): %s\n",errno, strerror(errno) );
	return -1;
       }
       ifi = &ifdr.ifdr_data;
       ifi_type = ifi->ifi_type;
       printf("%c is number\n",ifi_type);
}		
}

Thnaks
