#ifdef INET6

[Matthew Dillon]

:Hey guys,
:
:	I was fixing up some bad code in logger(1) and came across:
:
:94 #ifdef INET6
:95                 case '6':
:96                         family = PF_INET6;
:97                         break;
:98 #endif
:
:Now we should do something similar to the actual optstring of getopt.
:Although, talking to Joerg he has a strong dislike for INET6 within
:userland. Whats the stand on this?

    Well, the above statement could very easily be rewritten like this,
    if portability is required:

	case 6:
#ifdef PF_INET6
		family = PF_INET6;
		break;
#else
		warn("ipv6 not currently supported");
		break;
#endif

    In userland there is no real need for an 'INET6' conditional and,
    Generally speaking, -6 options should not be conditionalized out
    except when portability is an issue.
