What did you do?

try parse message from AF_ROUTE socket.

unix.Socket(unix.AF_ROUTE, unix.SOCK_RAW, unix.AF_UNSPEC)
msgs, err := route.ParseRIB(route.RIBTypeRoute, data[:n])

What did you see happen?

ParseRIB skip Interface message that indicate utun interface up

// data fetch from AF_ROUTE socket
data := []byte{112, 0, 5, 14, 0, 0, 0, 0, 81, 128, 0, 0, 28, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 220, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 237, 0, 107, 103, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}

since no RTA_IFP flag

func (w *wireFormat) parseInterfaceMessage(_ RIBType, b []byte) (Message, error) {
...
	if attrs&syscall.RTA_IFP == 0 {
		return nil, nil
	}
...
}

not sure if it is intended

What did you expect to see?

should return InterfaceMessage with Index and flags?

Currently the code ensures that m.Name is set in the returned InterfaceMessage. If we permit a message for which RTA_IFP is not set, then the Name field won't be set. In the standard library's net package, that in turn will mean returning a value of type net.Interface for which the Name field is not set. How should programs handle an unnamed interface? Why is the name not being returned?

We've identified some possible problems with your issue report. Please review
these findings and fix any that you think are appropriate to fix.

• The issue should provide a complete, runnable program to reproduce the issue.

I'm just a bot; you probably know better than I do whether these findings really need fixing.

Hi, this message can be easily reproduced in my mbp(macOS 15.2).

1. go run main.go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"golang.org/x/sys/unix"
)

func main() {
	routeSocket, err := unix.Socket(unix.AF_ROUTE, unix.SOCK_RAW, unix.AF_UNSPEC)
	if err != nil {
		return
	}

	data := make([]byte, os.Getpagesize())
	for {
		n, err := unix.Read(routeSocket, data)
		if err != nil {
			return
		}

		if data[3] != unix.RTM_IFINFO {
			continue
		}

		fmt.Printf("%d:%v\n", n, data[:n])
	}
}

2. sudo ifconfig utun0 mtu 1500 up

BTW, i have test for many times in my mbp, all message from NET_RT_IFLIST with RTM_IFINFO type has RTA_IFP, not guarantee in all platform.

Maybe filter work should after getting interfaceMessages in standard library? ParseRIB itself just return basic message

[ianlancetaylor]

What does the ifconfig program print for the interface? Does it give it a name?

ifconfig print nothing, it didn't give interface a name. utun0 exists when the system starts, it already has a name.
