Previously `ifconfig` would only know link-local addresses
(printed as 'local') and everything else would be 'global'.
This is wrong for site-local and unique local addresses which were
also denoted as global.
So use the already existing helper functions to determine the correct
type of IPv6 address when printing.
This change is in preparation to [PR 10788]. PR 10788 will make the
shell exitable which may lead to unexpected behavior in comparison to
previous usage of the shell.
To prevent this, this PR introduces two "new" functions to the shell's
API: `shell_run_once()` and `shell_run_forever()`.
`shell_run_once()` basically has the same behavior as `shell_run()` in
current master: Start a shell and continue reading lines until EOF is
reached.
`shell_run_forever()` wraps around `shell_run_once()` and restarts the
shell if it exits.
`shell_run()` is re-introduced as a back-porting alias for
`shell_run_forever()`.
As a consequence all current calls to `shell_run()` won't exit even
with [PR 10788] merged (which would add EOT as additional exit
condition for `shell_run_once()`).
[PR 10788]: https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/pull/10788
Replaces the special heap command approach of the lpc_common module with a more general heap command approach. Module lpc_common was already removed with PR #2118. PR #2118 integrated cpu/lpc_common code in cpu/lpc2387. With PR #3530 special heap handling for cpu/lpc2387 was replaced by newlib memory management which uses _sbrk_r to allocate chunks from the heap. _sbrk_r uses _sheap and _eheap symbols that are defined in lpc2387.ld and can be used together with mallinfo function for heap statistics.
CTRL-C cancels the current line, similar to how getty works.
This is useful if one is using a dumb terminal to communicate with
a node, as it saves having to repeatedly type backspace to discard the
current line. It also helps when connecting to an already running node,
as one does not know what is on the line buffer, the safest thing to do
is to begin by sending a ctrl-C.
This is a suggestion of @benemorius.
- Add SEMTECH_LORAMAC_ALREADY_JOINED ret code for semtech_loramac_join
- Add SEMTECH_LORAMAC_TX_CNF_FAILED ret code for semtech_loramac_send
- Update shell commands to notify when no ACK is received on cnf tx
Add a trivial shell program that scans for all slaves on an I2C bus by iterating
all of the possible 127 I2C addresses and checking for the ACK of the device.
I was looking for a quick way to gauge the link quality between two nodes,
so I added the rssi to the output of the ping6 command.
Maybe this is generally useful to have.

New features (compared to old RIOT version):
- non-positional parameters
- Better duplicate detection (addresses #9387)
- Better asynchronous behavior
- Potential for future move to `sock_ip`
- (Optional) DNS-support
- Multithreading-safe (in case shell-command handler gets called
from multiple threads)

When IPv6 is enabled, the MTU is given. So users(*) sending IPv6 packets can
easily figure out what the supported maximum protocol unit is.
However, when IPv6 is disabled and a user wants to send layer 2 frames directly,
no information about the maximum PDU is available using the shell.
When 6LoWPAN is used, a user may be interested in the layer 2 PDU as well in
order to avoid layer 2 fragmentation.
This PR adds the L2-PDU info to the output of the ifconfig shell command, which
is printed regardless of the use of IPv6.
(*): Here "users" refers to human beings interacting with the shell.
Applications can get the maximum PDU of each layer more easily using
gnrc_netapi_get() with NETOPT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE instead of using a shell command.
