for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { printf("%d", i); } prints the numers 0-99 behind each other. So 0123456.... However, we would like to see only one number and the previous number is overwritten. We can achieve this by returning the carriage back to the beginning of the current line. This can be done with \r. Thus for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { printf("%d\r", i); }

With Linux the naming of the NIC’s isn’t fixed. So it might be that it changes after every reboot.

With udev rules  one can fix the naming based on the MAC address of the NICs.

With ArchLinux simple add a file exp 10-network.rules containing text as follows

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:30:4f:1c:ec:5f", NAME="eth0"<br />
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:30:48:9c:63:26", NAME="eth1"<br />
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:30:4e:9c:21:17", NAME="eth2"<br />

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:30:4f:1c:ec:5f", NAME="eth0"<br />
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:30:48:9c:63:26", NAME="eth1"<br />
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ATTR{address}=="00:30:4e:9c:21:17", NAME="eth2"<br />

IMPORTANT: Make sure the letters in the MAC address are lower case.
