When changing ip6ip6 parameters (ip -6 tun change), ip passes zeroed
struct ip6_tnl_parm to the kernel. The kernel then tries to change all of
the tunnel parameters to the passed values, including zeroing of local and
remote address. This fails (-EEXIST in net/ipv6/ip6_tunnel.c:ip6_tnl_ioctl).
For other tunnel types, ip fetches the current parameters first and applies
the required changes on top of them. This patch applies the same code as in
ip/iptunnel.c to ip/ip6tunnel.c.

Add bridge as a supported type with 'ip link' in usage and all the missing
types in 'ip' man page. Also fixed some typos.

Use O_EXCL so that we only create and mount a new network namespace
if there is no chance an existing network namespace is present.

If libc has setns present use that version instead of
rolling the syscall wrapper by hand.

On Arch Linux, we still install the iptables shared libraries in
/usr/lib/iptables/, even though the main library is installed to
/usr/lib/libxtables.so. This change checks all available locations to
correctly find the iptables library directory.

$ ip route help 2>&1 | grep monitor
ip route { add | del | change | append | replace | monitor } ROUTE
$ ip route monitor
Command "monitor" is unknown, try "ip route help".
(I guess what was really intended is "ip monitor route", so just remove
the argument from the help output.)

While at it, also drop all non-existant (route,link,netns) monitor
arguments from the ip(8) man page.

The goal of this code change is to implement a mechanism such that it is
simple to work with a kernel that is using multiple network namespaces
at once.
This comes in handy for interacting with vpns where there may be rfc1918
address overlaps, and different policies default routes, name servers
and the like.
Configuration specific to a network namespace that would ordinarily be
stored under /etc/ is stored under /etc/netns/<name>. For example if
the dns server configuration is different for your vpn you would create
a file /etc/netns/myvpn/resolv.conf.
File descriptors that can be used to manipulate a network namespace can
be created by opening /var/run/netns/<NAME>.
This adds the following commands to iproute.
ip netns add NAME
ip netns delete NAME
ip netns monitor
ip netns list
ip netns exec NAME cmd ....
ip link set DEV netns NAME
ip netns exec exists to cater the vast majority of programs that only
know how to operate in a single network namespace. ip netns exec
changes the default network namespace, creates a new mount namespace,
remounts /sys and bind mounts netns specific configuration files to
their standard locations.

iptables/xtables apparently changed API again.... Now you need to pass
and extra parameter (orig_opts) which was not needed before.
Sprinkle some lovely pre-processor magic to be compatible with both older
and new versions. In the beginning of times XTABLES_VERSION_CODE didn't
exist. Then it was (0x10000 * major + 0x100 * minor + patch) when it was
first introduced (according to git), but now it's at 6...
Don't know what official iptables releases has defined it to over time.
Lets just hope none of the older versions with is has the define
higher then 6 is still around.... so only the "current" versioning
scheme is supported.... lets see how long this lasts now.
For the API change in xtables, see:

The ip(8) man page and the "ip xfrm [ XFRM-OBJECT ] help" command output
are updated to include missing options, fix errors, and improve grammar.
There are no functional changes made.
The documentation for the ip command has many different meanings for the
same formatting symbols (which really needs to be fixed). This patch makes
consistent use of brackets [ ] to indicate optional parameters, pipes | to
mean "OR", braces { } to group things together, and dashes - instead of
underscores _ inside of parameter names. The parameters are listed in the
order in which they are parsed in the source code.
There are several parameters and options that are still not mentioned or
need to be described more thoroughly in the "COMMAND SYNTAX" section of
the ip(8) man page. I would appreciate help from the developers with this.
