Re: [ANet-devel] Coding: What You Can Do

[Chirag K. <ch...@ya...>]

hi benoit!

afaik, the default ethernet interface on a linux machine is always
"eth0". somebody, please correct me, if i'm wrong. the snippet which
you'd sent a few days back should do very well for this. the snippet
checks for command line args and if there are none, then prints all the
interfaces with their IP addresses and if the interface is specified
(for eg, "eth0"), then it will print the IP address of only eth0.

i am not sure if i got you on the second task. you mean you need an
editor to write to a device? i am not sure what do you mean by "text
device"; if it's serial port, then i suppose minicom kind of tool
should do fine.
