[Click] Write handler problem

[Marco Wenzel]

Hi,

while implementing an element for ICMP router discovery (RFC 1256), I added a
write handler to configure the advertisement-interval at runtime. This interval
is the time between sending advertisement-messages on multiple interfaces of my
router. I've got one advertisement element for each interface, eg:
ICMPAdvert(eth0) -> ToDevice(eth0);
ICMPAdvert(eth1) -> ToDevice(eth1);
ICMPAdvert(eth2) -> ToDevice(eth2);
and so on... (simpified version)

I want to use the handler to configure the interval globally for every element
at one time. Is this possible? At the moment I have to enter a command for
every element, eg:
# write ICMPAdvert at 1.interval 500
# write ICMPAdvert at 2.interval 500
# write ICMPAdvert at 3.interval 500

While writing a GUI for my router, it would be easier to me, to do
# write ICMPAdvert@*.interval 500
or something like this. Any ideas?

Thanks and best regards,
Marco.
