The list consists of ifaddrs structures, as defined in the include file <ifaddrs.h>. The ifaddrs structure contains at least the following entries: struct ifaddrs *ifa_next; /* Pointer to next struct */ char *ifa_name; /* Interface name */ u_int ifa_flags; /* Interface flags */ struct sockaddr *ifa_addr; /* Interface address */ struct sockaddr *ifa_netmask; /* Interface netmask */ struct sockaddr *ifa_broadaddr; /* Interface broadcast address */ struct sockaddr *ifa_dstaddr; /* P2P interface destination */ void *ifa_data; /* Address specific data */ ifa_next Contains a pointer to the next structure on the list. This field is set to NULL in last structure on the list. ifa_name Contains the interface name. ifa_flags Contains the interface flags, as set by ifconfig(8). ifa_addr References either the address of the interface or the link level address of the interface, if one exists, otherwise it is NULL. (The sa_family field of the ifa_addr field should be consulted to determine the format of the ifa_addr address.) ifa_netmask References the netmask associated with ifa_addr, if one is set, otherwise it is NULL. ifa_broadaddr This field, which should only be referenced for non-P2P inter- faces, references the broadcast address associated with ifa_addr, if one exists, otherwise it is NULL. ifa_dstaddr References the destination address on a P2P interface, if one exists, otherwise it is NULL. ifa_data References address family specific data. For AF_LINK addresses it contains a pointer to the struct if_data (as defined in include file <net/if.h>) which contains various interface attributes and statistics. For all other address families, it contains a pointer to the struct ifa_data (as defined in include file <net/if.h>) which contains per-address interface statistics. The data returned by getifaddrs() is dynamically allocated and should be freed using freeifaddrs() when no longer needed. RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS The getifaddrs() may fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the library routines ioctl(2), socket(2), malloc(3), or sysctl(3). BUGS If both <net/if.h> and <ifaddrs.h> are being included, <net/if.h> must be included before <ifaddrs.h>. SEE ALSO ioctl(2), socket(2), sysctl(3), networking(4), ifconfig(8) HISTORY The getifaddrs() function first appeared in BSDI BSD/OS. The function is supplied on OpenBSD since OpenBSD 2.7.
