For certain reasons, I need to refer to the source files of arp cmd. However, been searching on the net for long time and ended up with no luck. Actually, there is a SRPM mirror for Fedora 18, where you are supposed to find all the source RPMs for all the cmds included in Fedora 18 (but still, no arp). The good thing is I find sth useful from BusyBox, which is an open-source and lightweighted implementation for embedded Linux. Based on that, darp is written. May it help.
1. SRPMs for Fedora 18 (UO mirror)
http://mirror.uoregon.edu/fedora/linux/releases/18/Fedora/source/SRPMS/
2. BusyBox
3. darp
The behavior of darp and arp is similar. Eventually, that was the intention!
darp -a: read “/proce/net/arp” and print the info to the stdout
darp -d: ioctl(SIOCDARP) to delete an entry within the ARP cache
darp -g: ioctl(SIOCGARP) to get an entry within the ARP cache
darp -s: ioctl(SIOCSARP) to set/add an entry into the ARP cache
[daveti@daveti darp]$ ./darp -h
darp -a:
display all the entries within the ARP cache
darp -v:
enable/disable verbose mode
darp -i <interface>:
change the default name of network interface
darp -d <IP>:
remove the entry with this IP address
darp -g <IP>:
get the entry with this IP address
darp -s <IP> <MAC>:
add an entry into the ARP cache with this IP and MAC addresses
darp -h:
display the usage menu
