Is there a way to tell lsh about the interface to use when using a link local IPv6 address?
No, it just calls connect on the target ip address, and relies on the kernel to select an appropriate src address and interface.
For instance an --interface option or IPV6%iface syntax.
Hmm. Adding an interface option to specify an ip address, and using bind(2) to bind that as the local address of the socket before connecting, should be straightforward.
Not sure how to deal with interface identifiers, though. How should that work? I'm aware of the SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt, but I'm not sure that's what you are asking for.
