This was... a bit of a nightmare. It took way too long and went down a bunch of blind alleys. I'm not sure how much I like the final result: it's pleasingly terse in some cases, but in others it feels dangerously subtle, requiring a pretty careful understanding of the sequencing rules of C's &&, || and , operators. That said, while I was at many points ready to pack it in and hack my around the problems limiting the parsing for destination remapping, I couldn't really think of feasible way to do that either. So, here we are. v5: * Improvements to manpages and usage in 12/13 * No other changes v4: * Update manpages and --help to reflect changes in 12/13 * No other changes v3: * Fixed validation of ifnames in 13/13. * No other changes. v2: * Numerous minor tweaks based on Stefano's feedback. * The "minor issues" aren't actually minor - they're hard to solve in C, remain.
