Red Bear OS e818909712 route: metric/preference field (mirrors iproute2 metric)
Rule gains metric: u32 field (default 0). Lower metric = higher
priority. lookup_rule() now selects the matching rule with the
lowest metric among those with the same prefix length.

route/add parser accepts 'metric N':
  default via 10.0.2.2 metric 100
  default via 10.0.2.254 metric 200

Display shows metric when non-zero:
  default via 10.0.2.2 dev eth0 src 10.0.2.15 metric 100

Rule::with_metric(m) builder added. All existing callers use
default metric=0 (backward compatible).

Use case: multi-homed hosts with primary/backup default routes.
The primary route has metric 0, the backup has metric 100.

All 31 tests pass.

Base

Repository containing various system daemons, that are considered fundamental for the OS.

You can see what each component does in the following list:

  • audiod : Daemon used to process the sound drivers audio
  • bootstrap : First code that the kernel executes, responsible for spawning the init daemon
  • daemon : Redox daemon library
  • drivers
  • init : Daemon used to start most system components and programs
  • initfs : Filesystem with the necessary system components to run RedoxFS
  • ipcd : Daemon used for inter-process communication
  • logd : Daemon used to log system components and daemons
  • netstack : Daemon used for networking
  • ptyd : Daemon used for pseudo-terminal
  • ramfs : RAM filesystem
  • randd : Daemon used for random number generation
  • zerod : Daemon used to discard all writes and fill read buffers with zero

How To Contribute

To learn how to contribute you need to read the following document:

If you want to contribute to drivers read its README

Development

To learn how to do development with these system components inside the Redox build system you need to read the Build System and Coding and Building pages.

How To Build

It is recommended to build this system component via the Redox build system, you can learn how to do it on the Building Redox page.

To build and test outside the build system, install redoxer then use check.sh script to build or test:

  • ./check.sh - Check build for x86_64
  • ./check.sh --arch=ARCH - Check build for specific ARCH (aarch64, i586, riscv64gc)
  • ./check.sh --all - Check build for all ARCH
  • ./check.sh --test - Check the base system boots up on x86_64

You can also use make install to inspect the content on ./sysroot, or make test-gui to test booting with orbital interactively.
