Task #1407

Description
Implement add subcommand as a composite of "create" and "add-nexthop".
Command syntax:
nfdc add <Name> <FaceUri> [<Cost>]
This is equivalent to:
FACEID=`nfdc create <FaceUri>`
nfdc add-nexthop <Name> $FACEID <Cost>
nfdc create should write the FaceId to stdout.
A bash script can capture this FaceId and provide create + add-nexthop feature.
The philosophy of UNIX is each command only do one thing. Composite operation should use a script.
And this composite operation isn't so useful because prefix registration should use NRD.
- Subject changed from nfdc should have 'add' (and maybe 'remove' with aliases 'del' and 'delete') to nfdc add subcommand
- Description updated (diff)

Hila, what is the progress on this task? People are started to use nfd and lack of helper 'add' command confuses them... :(
- Status changed from New to In Progress
- % Done changed from 0 to 50

- % Done changed from 50 to 100
Alex, not sure but I think this "add" updates FIB directly; shouldn't it go through NRD controller? And the command should also have a provision of specifying flags.
This should be extended (we still could have direct modification of FIB, but with a secret nfdc option). Can you propose the extended format for add?
- Related to Task #1416: nfdc register/unregister subcommands added
I was waiting for this task to be finished, so that I can make registration related changes to nfdc. However, I've started from the under review commit now, as the behavior of add command needs to be modified in any case.
- Status changed from Code review to Closed
