Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next 3/3] ipmroute: better error message if no kernel mroute
Date: Thu,  8 Mar 2018 18:02:19 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180309020219.6417-4-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180309020219.6417-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

From: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft•com>

If kernel does not support the IP multicast address family,
then it will report all routes (PF_UNSPEC).
Give the user a better error message and abort the command.
