You tickled a pet issue of mine. A host rarely has just one IP
address. This would need to be a list of addresses.
$ ip addr show | awk '/inet/{print$2}'
A host has a number of network interfaces and each network interface
has a number of IP addresses. This results in a host potentially
having quite a few associated addresses!
On my network all simple hosts have four IP addresses. A more
complicated host has seven IP addresses. One of the most interesting
hosts has 17 IP addresses.

$ gpslocation # <-- Just joking here.
