Note, though, that you're in a _MUCH_ better position if you can fork
and exec ifconfig(1M).  If you need an "API" for it, then write a simple
function that does just that.

Sun's engineers have made much of wanting to drive away from the STREAMS
and DLPI interfaces that the above documented interface uses.  At a
minimum, you will be sacrificing performance and functionality by using
those older interfaces.

Then write a function that forks and execs ifconfig.  Really.  How is
that any less "programmatic" than ioctl?
