Pretentious Yet Pointless
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this piece, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind contrast of lager and beer... Contrasts of night and day dominate the expanse of the prototype. The endless curves are forever engraved in a homage to celebration. The embellished canvas enriches in some sense positive rather than simply one of passive appreciation.
``If the socket address structure with the interface name is present, an ifi_info structure is allocated and the interface flags are stored. The expected family of this socket address structure is AF_LINK, indicating a datalink socket address structure. If the sdl_nlen member is nonzero, then the interface name is copied into the ifi_info structure. Otherwise a string containing the interface index is stored as the name. If the sdl_nlen member is nonzero, then the hardware address (e.g. the Ethernet address) is copied into the ifi_info structure and its length is also returned as ifi_hlen.''
