Assuming context of: Modern unix-or-unix-like-system.
There is no portable way to force the network stack to prefer a given
interface at the client-application level. A call to connect(3) in
the library will select the near endpoint based on the destination
IP-addr.
Server applications (i.e. those that use bind(3) ) can pass in an
address in lieu of INADDR_ANY to force them to only listen on a given
address.
Getting the IP-addresses for the various interfaces on your system is
left as an exercise to the user.

Computer software consists of only two components: ones and
zeros, in roughly equal proportions. All that is required is to
sort them into the correct order.
