The marks are now drawn the way Niveus draws its keys: one light from the
upper left, gloss on the faces that catch it, a specular line on the edges
that face it, and soft contact shadows.
- Shift: shaded slabs, each casting onto the one below. shift-mask.svg is
untouched, so the kernel's logo.h coverage mask is unchanged.
- Uberblock: bevelled slots in a groove; the newest slot and the root glow.
- USB stick: moulded body, steel connector, a lit activity LED.
- Pride flag: cloth folds and a hem over the flag's own colours.
The pages use the components the new Niveus added: both terminals are
.nv-window frames, the origin and first-boot sequences are .nv-steps, the
numbers are a .nv-stat-group, and each feature card has an .nv-tile glyph.

fastfetch reported "getifaddrs(&ifAddrStruct) failed", and the right answer to
that is not a patch to fastfetch. Asking what interfaces a machine has is
something every networked program does, and on Linux there is exactly one way:
a NETLINK_ROUTE socket. musl implements getifaddrs() over it, so a libc call
that looks like a syscall is really a small protocol conversation -- and without
this side of it every caller fails the same way.
kernel/net/netlink.c is a responder rather than a general socket family. No
event stream, no multicast groups, nothing subscribes to link state: a request
arrives, the whole answer is generated into the socket's buffer, and reads drain
it. That shape is chosen, not a shortcut -- getifaddrs sends a dump and reads
until NLMSG_DONE with MSG_DONTWAIT, so generating at send time means a read
never blocks and the non-blocking flag is honoured for free.
RTM_GETLINK returns one RTM_NEWLINK per interface with IFLA_IFNAME and
IFLA_ADDRESS; RTM_GETADDR returns one RTM_NEWADDR per address with IFA_ADDRESS,
IFA_LOCAL and IFA_LABEL. Anything else gets a bare NLMSG_DONE, because the
caller's next move is a read either way and an unexpected error message is worse
than nothing to read.
The data is not netlink's. Interfaces come from the netdev class and addresses
from lwIP's netifs, exactly as /proc/netif reads them; nothing in the file knows
what an e1000 is. Interface indices matter more than they look -- getifaddrs
matches address records to link records by index, so the two dumps have to
agree. Loopback is 1, netdevs follow from 2.
Verified by reading it back through musl rather than by inspecting the bytes:
lo flags=0x49 fam=-1
eth0 flags=0x1043 fam=17 (AF_PACKET, the MAC)
lo flags=0x49 fam=2 addr=127.0.0.1 mask=255.0.0.0
eth0 flags=0x1043 fam=2 addr=10.0.2.15 mask=255.255.255.0
Correct flags, addresses and netmasks, and the link records pair with the
address records.
One thing this does not close: fastfetch's Local IP module defaults to
default-route-only, which calls ffNetifGetDefaultRouteIfName() and reads
/proc/net/route. SchOS has no routing table and no such file, so the module
still shows nothing -- now for a reason that is about routing rather than about
enumeration. That is the next file to provide.
socktest still passes; the AF_UNIX and AF_INET paths are untouched.
