Where the heck are things like these documented?
I've found the full doc set for AIX at:
http://www.rs6000.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixgen/

and some other useful AIX stuff at:
http://journyx.com/aix_resources.html

I think Lou Gerstner should give me some money, for all
the headaches that AIX is giving me.

Guy, can you give me a sample test snippet of code which
gets all the network interfaces on a system?  Then I can
try to see what works on AIX.

Thanks.
