* Package name : python-netifaces2 Version : 0.0.22 Upstream Author : Samuel Yvon <[email protected]> * URL : https://github.com/SamuelYvon/netifaces-2 * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : portable network interface information This library reports information about network interfaces known to the operating system. It can list interface names and return per-interface address data, including link-layer, IPv4, and IPv6 addresses where the system provides them. . It also exposes routing gateway information and the default gateway through a netifaces-compatible API. On Linux, gateway data is obtained from the kernel routing table as exposed through procfs or through the ip command when needed. . The data comes from the host networking stack, network interfaces, and routing tables. Results reflect the addresses and routes configured on the system, such as Ethernet or Wi-Fi interface addresses, netmasks, broadcast addresses, and gateway entries. This library is a dependancy of Home Assistant, the Python smart home platform. I plan to maintain it as part of the Home Assistant team.
