Research usage of libnv (nv(3)) #19

Closed Savagedlight closed 7 years ago

Savagedlight commented 8 years ago

libnv reduces or removes the compatibility issue with changes in structs between versions, moving the backwards(and for applications, forwards compatibility) concerns related to that to the library, leaving less of a headache for applications using libifconfig.

It currently looks like it won't be necessary to use, but keep an eye on it as more advanced features are implemented in libifconfig.

Although libnv would allow for backwards compatibility, it makes user codde too verbose for my taste.
