MLD6QUERY(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MLD6QUERY(8)NAME
mld6query -- send multicast listener query
SYNOPSIS
mld6query [-dr] intface [maddr]
DESCRIPTION
mld6query sends an IPv6 multicast listener discovery (MLD) query packet toward the specified multicast address, maddr, toward interface
intface. If you omit maddr, linklocal all nodes multicast address(ff02::1) is used.
After sending a query, mld6query waits for replies for at most 10 seconds. If a reply is returned, mld6query prints it with its type and
then waits for another reply.
This program is provided only for debugging. It is not necessary for normal use.
With -d, mld6query will transmit MLD done packet instead of MLD query packet. With -r, similarly, MLD report packet will be transmitted.
-dr options are for debugging purposes only.
EXIT STATUS
The program exits 0 on success, and >0 on failures.
HISTORY
The mld6query command first appeared in WIDE/KAME IPv6 protocol stack kit.
BUGS
mld6query does not take care of multicast addresses which have non link-local scope.

MLD(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual MLD(4)NAME
mld -- Multicast Listener Discovery Protocol
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netinet/in_systm.h>
#include <netinet/ip6.h>
#include <netinet/icmp6.h>
#include <netinet6/mld6.h>
int
socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMPV6);
DESCRIPTION
MLD is a control plane protocol used by IPv6 hosts and routers to propagate multicast group membership information. Normally this protocol
is not used directly, except by the kernel itself, in response to multicast membership requests by user applications. Multicast routing pro-
tocol daemons may open a raw socket to directly interact with mld and receive membership reports.
As of FreeBSD 8.0, MLD version 2 is implemented. This adds support for Source-Specific Multicast (SSM), whereby applications may communicate
to upstream multicast routers that they are only interested in receiving multicast streams from particular sources. The retransmission of
state-change reports adds some robustness to the protocol.
SYSCTL VARIABLES
net.inet6.mld.ifinfo
This opaque read-only variable exposes the per-link MLDv2 status to ifmcstat(8).
net.inet6.mld.gsrdelay
This variable specifies the time threshold, in seconds, for processing Group-and-Source Specific Queries (GSR). As GSR query pro-
cessing requires maintaining state on the host, it may cause memory to be allocated, and is therefore a potential attack point for
Denial-of-Service (DoS). If more than one GSR query is received within this threshold, it will be dropped, to mitigate the potential
for DoS.
net.inet6.mld.v1enable
If this variable is non-zero, then MLDv1 membership queries (and host reports) will be processed by this host, and backwards compati-
bility will be enabled until the v1 'Older Version Querier Present' timer expires. This sysctl is normally enabled by default.

Introduction
I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin

I have a file which looks roughly like this:
996 mmmmmmm

99600 ssssssssss
9964 fffffffffffff
and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.
The prompt is... (2 Replies)
Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries. Now I had found a closed reference to adding time titled "add up time with xx:yy format in bash how?" In it, the example works great for that formatted list of times... This is the reply code...

Usually when I on the evening go to bed I take some interesting book with me. I read it for a while to get me down to sleep. Probably most people seek information from the Nett by googleing but I am so oldfashioned I prefer a real book ;)
