Network (card) information

v8hadas · 03-21-2007, 08:19 AM

Hi There,

I look for a way to retrieve the following things from a system where multiple network can be present at the same time:
1) IP address (IPv4 is enough for now)
2) Subnet mask
3) Macaddress
per network adapter.

I tried quite a few thing (practically all day today with SIOCGIFCONF, SIOCGIFFLAGS and so forth and somehow I did not make it. Is there a working example somewhere which would be usable probably?

Thanks,
Sandor

Try typing as root: ifconfig

Thank you.

Actually I found how to code it in c++ here in thread #542222.
