[Lcd4linux-devel] IP address of an interface

[Michael R. <re...@eu...>]

Hi there,

a user just asked how to get the IP address of (any) interface. So I 
found out that we currently have no way to fetch the address anywhere.

/proc/net/dev does not contain any IP addresses.

plugin_ppp uses an ioctl() for PPP stats, but I found nothing about IP 
addresses there.

anyone knows how to (easily) found out such things like addresses, MAC, 
netmask, ... all this things ifconfig reports? (I don't want to solve 
this using an exec 'ifconfig')


bye, Michael
