Description-en: utility to set IPv6 address preferences
ipv6pref provides a utility that preloads a library and
allows users to control the use of IPv6 privacy extensions.
.
For longrunning tasks it may be undesirable to use the periodically
changing and random addresses; using the supplied utility,
the kernel can be instructed whether to prefer the temporary addresses
or stick to the static ones when opening sockets for a specific program.
