Hello,

I noticed that when you "mix" routing protocols, it can be useful to change the "preference", but unfortunately there is little documentation in bird about this and no way to view it.

Is it possible to view the preference using "birdc"?

`birdc show route` shows the protocol preference at the end of the line in brackets. Or do you mean something different, like when showing the protocols? `show protocols all`, does show the preference, too.

Is it possible to include the default values (in https://gitlab.nic.cz/labs/bird/-/blob/v2.0.12/nest/route.h#L748-755) in the documentation?

Yes, this blob is my reference, too :) And yes it would be nice if it would be more visible... Bernd
