nicinfo#

The nicinfo utility operates slightly differently than under io-net:

• The default operation with no arguments is to list information on all interfaces.
  The io-net behaviour was to show stats for /dev/io-net/en0.
• Under io-net all interface ethernet interface names began with 'enX'. Under io-pkt this name will vary.

Note: Ported *BSD drivers may not support the nicinfo ioctl.

examples#

To get stats on legacy io-net drivers running under the shim the following are equivalent and are unchanged from the io-net behaviour.

# nicinfo -r en0
# nicinfo /dev/io-net/en0

To get stats on a particular native driver.

# nicinfo wm0
