   if_nameindex    ( 3 )

---

---

Имя (Name)

if_nameindex, if_freenameindex - get network interface names and indexes

---

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <net/if.h>

struct if_nameindex *if_nameindex(void); void if_freenameindex(struct if_nameindex *ptr);

---

Описание (Description)

The if_nameindex() function returns an array of if_nameindex structures, each containing information about one of the network interfaces on the local system. The if_nameindex structure contains at least the following entries:

unsigned int if_index; /* Index of interface (1, 2, ...) */ char *if_name; /* Null-terminated name ("eth0", etc.) */

The if_index field contains the interface index. The if_name field points to the null-terminated interface name. The end of the array is indicated by entry with if_index set to zero and if_name set to NULL.

The data structure returned by if_nameindex() is dynamically allocated and should be freed using if_freenameindex() when no longer needed.

---

Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

On success, if_nameindex() returns pointer to the array; on error, NULL is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

---

Ошибки (Error)

if_nameindex() may fail and set errno if:

ENOBUFS Insufficient resources available.

if_nameindex() may also fail for any of the errors specified for socket(2), bind(2), ioctl(2), getsockname(2), recvmsg(2), sendto(2), or malloc(3).

---

Версии (Versions)

The if_nameindex() function first appeared in glibc 2.1, but before glibc 2.3.4, the implementation supported only interfaces with IPv4 addresses. Support of interfaces that don't have IPv4 addresses is available only on kernels that support netlink.

Примеры (Examples)

The program below demonstrates the use of the functions described
       on this page.  An example of the output this program might
       produce is the following:

           $ ./a.out
           1: lo
           2: wlan0
           3: em1

   Program source
       #include <net/if.h>
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <stdlib.h>
       #include <unistd.h>

       int
       main(int argc, char *argv[])
       {
           struct if_nameindex *if_ni, *i;

           if_ni = if_nameindex();
           if (if_ni == NULL) {
               perror("if_nameindex");
               exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
           }

           for (i = if_ni; ! (i->if_index == 0 && i->if_name == NULL); i++)
               printf("%u: %s\n", i->if_index, i->if_name);

           if_freenameindex(if_ni);

           exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
       }
