[issue1746656] IPv6 Interface naming/indexing functions

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

Example with a non-ASCII interface name:

$ sudo tunctl -u haypo -t unicodeé
Set 'unicodeé' persistent and owned by uid 1000

$ sudo ifconfig -a|grep unicode|hexdump -C
00000000  75 6e 69 63 6f 64 65 c3  a9 20 4c 69 6e 6b 20 65  |unicode.. Link e|
00000010  6e 63 61 70 3a 45 74 68  65 72 6e 65 74 20 20 48  |ncap:Ethernet  H|
00000020  57 61 64 64 72 20 64 36  3a 30 38 3a 31 63 3a 65  |Waddr d6:08:1c:e|
00000030  30 3a 33 33 3a 30 36 20  20 0a                    |0:33:06  .|
0000003a

So in my setup (UTF-8 locale encoding), U+00E9 is encoded as {0xc3, 0xa9} (UTF-8).
