v. 0.3Edit

crtools-0.3.tar.bz2
Released: 11 Dec 2012
GIT tag: v0.3

New featuresEdit

  • C/R of shell jobs

    • Binding socket to device (SO_BINDTODEVICE)
    • Per-socket packet filter (SO_ATTACH_FILTER)
  • Shutdown state of a socket
  • Task scheduler parameters (nice, policy and prio)
  • Properly handle COW pages
  • Memory mapped packet sockets (with SOL- options this is enough for tcpdump tool support)
  • Complementary groups (getgroups(2))

  • Tune TCP sockets support to work with IPv6 sockets
  • Closed (or not yet connected/bound) unix sockets

Bug fixes and improvementsEdit
