While parsing ifconfig output is what most probably do, it's also subject to being broken at any time, since the output of ifconfig really isn't stable. Your safest bet would be to write a program that uses the stable ioctls (e.g., SIOCGLIFADDR) to retrieve the information you need, and then invoke that program with the approriate commandline options. I'm sure there are already a bunch of programs floating around that will do this. -- meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
