linux下网络接口函数,Linux下获取第一个网络接口名称的函数实现

以下代码摘自开源程序--------iftop

/* This is a list of interface name prefixes which are `bad' in the sense

* that they don't refer to interfaces of external type on which we are

* likely to want to listen. We also compare candidate interfaces to lo. */

static char *bad_interface_names[] = {

"lo:",

"lo",

"stf",     /* pseudo-device 6to4 tunnel interface */

"gif",     /* psuedo-device generic tunnel interface */

"dummy",

"vmnet",

NULL        /* last entry must be NULL */

};

static int is_bad_interface_name(char *i) {

char **p;

for (p = bad_interface_names; *p; ++p)

if (strncmp(i, *p, strlen(*p)) == 0)

return 1;

return 0;

}

/* This finds the first interface which is up and is not the loopback

* interface or one of the interface types listed in bad_interface_names. */

static char *get_first_interface(void) {

struct if_nameindex * nameindex;

char *i = NULL;

int j = 0;

/* Use if_nameindex(3) instead? */

nameindex = if_nameindex();

if(nameindex == NULL) {

return NULL;

}

while(nameindex[j].if_index != 0) {

if (strcmp(nameindex[j].if_name, "lo") != 0 && !is_bad_interface_name(nameindex[j].if_name)) {

i = xstrdup(nameindex[j].if_name);

break;

}

j++;

}

if_freenameindex(nameindex);

return i;

}

补充说明：

struct if_nameindex

这个变量用于存储单个网络界面的信息,其中具有两个元素:

unsigned int if_index:界面序号

char *if_name:用null结尾的界面名称

struct if_nameindex *if_nameindex(void);

返回一个struct if_nameindex列表,其中存储了所有界面的信息,最后一个if_nameindex的if_index序号为零,if_name为null

此函数得到的结果必需用if_freenameindex函数清除

void if_freenameindex(struct if_nameindex *ptr);

清除if_nameindex得到的结果
