Description Jaroslav Aster 2015-05-13 12:54:27 UTC

Description of problem:

ip rule list does not allow selectors and shows incorrect usage.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

iproute-3.10.0-26


How reproducible:

always


Steps to Reproduce:

# ip rule add from 172.29.0.0/24 to 172.29.1.0/24 table 1110

# ip rule show
0:      from all lookup local 
32765:  from 172.29.0.0/24 to 172.29.1.0/24 lookup 1110 
32766:  from all lookup main 
32767:  from all lookup default

# ip rule list
0:      from all lookup local 
32765:  from 172.29.0.0/24 to 172.29.1.0/24 lookup 1110 
32766:  from all lookup main 
32767:  from all lookup default 

# ip rule list from 172.29.0.0/24
"ip rule show" does not take any arguments.

# ip rule help
Usage: ip rule [ list | add | del | flush ] SELECTOR ACTION

man ip-rule:

ip rule  [ list | add | del | flush ] SELECTOR ACTION

There is no show command and selectors are allowed for list. It is a little bit confusing.

I think it is not a functional mistake of ip route (selectors for list command would be useful), it is just documentation problem (man page, help).

Comment 1 Pavel Šimerda (pavlix) 2015-05-20 18:14:37 UTC

So what are your expectations regarding selectors? Are they part of the bug report?

Comment 2 Jaroslav Aster 2015-05-21 09:08:55 UTC

Hi Pavel,

I expect consistency. There are two ways how to do it. The first, you can change documentation (help and man page) and the second, you can change the code and add new functionality. It is up to you which way will be chosen.

If you choose second, the selectors should be the same as they are for the other command.

# ip rule add from 192.168.1.0/24 lookup 3
# ip rule add from 192.168.2.0/24 lookup 3
# ip rule list lookup 3

I expect that last command will show me all rules where lookup is 3.

Will fix the docs for now.

Comment 6 Phil Sutter 2016-03-07 19:51:14 UTC

This will be fixed as part of bug 1251186.
