getifaddrs

getifaddrs

获取本地网络接口的信息。在路由器上可以用这个接口来获取wan/lan等接口当前的ip地址，广播地址等信息。

       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <ifaddrs.h>

       int getifaddrs(struct ifaddrs **ifap);

       void freeifaddrs(struct ifaddrs *ifa);

getifaddrs创建一个链表，链表上的每个节点都是一个struct ifaddrs结构，getifaddrs()返回链表第一个元素的指针。成功返回0, 失败返回-1,同时errno会被赋允相应错误码。
struct ifaddrs结构描述如下：

           struct ifaddrs {
               struct ifaddrs  *ifa_next;    /* Next item in list */
               char            *ifa_name;    /* Name of interface */
               unsigned int     ifa_flags;   /* Flags from SIOCGIFFLAGS */
               struct sockaddr *ifa_addr;    /* Address of interface */
               struct sockaddr *ifa_netmask; /* Netmask of interface */
               union {
                   struct sockaddr *ifu_broadaddr;
                                    /* Broadcast address of interface */
                   struct sockaddr *ifu_dstaddr;
                                    /* Point-to-point destination address */
               } ifa_ifu;
           #define              ifa_broadaddr ifa_ifu.ifu_broadaddr
           #define              ifa_dstaddr   ifa_ifu.ifu_dstaddr
               void            *ifa_data;    /* Address-specific data */
           };

ifa_next 指向链表中下一个struct ifaddr结构
ifa_name 网络接口名
ifa_flags 网络接口标志，这些标志见下面描述。
ifa_addr 指向一个包含网络地址的sockaddr结构
ifa_netmask 指向一个包含网络掩码的结构
ifu_broadaddr 如果(ifa_flags&IFF_BROADCAST)有效，ifu_broadaddr指向一个包含广播地址的结构。
ifu_dstaddr 如果(ifa_flags&IFF_POINTOPOINT)有效，ifu_dstaddr指向一个包含p2p目的地址的结构。
ifa_addr 指向一个缓冲区，其中包含地址族私有数据。没有私有数据则为NULL。

ifa_flags 标志位：

                                goes down.
              IFF_LOWER_UP      Driver signals L1 up (since Linux 2.6.17)

              IFF_ECHO          Echo sent packets (since Linux 2.6.25)

使用实例，在man 3 getifaddrs的例子基础上加了一个broadcast address:

#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <ifaddrs.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <net/if.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    struct ifaddrs *ifaddr, *ifa;
    int family, s;
    char host[NI_MAXHOST];

    if (getifaddrs(&ifaddr) == -1) {
        perror("getifaddrs");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

    /* Walk through linked list, maintaining head pointer so we
       can free list later */

    for (ifa = ifaddr; ifa != NULL; ifa = ifa->ifa_next) {
        if (ifa->ifa_addr == NULL)
            continue;
        family = ifa->ifa_addr->sa_family;

        /* Display interface name and family (including symbolic
           form of the latter for the common families) */

        printf("%s  address family: %d%s\n",
               ifa->ifa_name, family,
               (family == AF_PACKET) ? " (AF_PACKET)" :

        if (ifa->ifa_flags & IFF_BROADCAST)

        /* For an AF_INET* interface address, display the address */

        if (family == AF_INET || family == AF_INET6) {
            s = getnameinfo(ifa->ifa_addr,
                    (family == AF_INET) ? sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) :
                    sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6),
                    host, NI_MAXHOST, NULL, 0, NI_NUMERICHOST);
            if (s != 0) {
                printf("getnameinfo() failed: %s\n", gai_strerror(s));
                exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
            }
            printf("\taddress: <%s>\n", host);

            if (ifa->ifa_flags & IFF_BROADCAST) {
                s = getnameinfo(ifa->ifa_broadaddr,
                        (family == AF_INET) ? sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) :
                        sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6),
                        host, NI_MAXHOST, NULL, 0, NI_NUMERICHOST);
                printf("\tbroadcast address: <%s>\n", host);
            }
            if (ifa->ifa_flags & IFF_POINTOPOINT) {
                s = getnameinfo(ifa->ifa_dstaddr,
                        (family == AF_INET) ? sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) :

                        host, NI_MAXHOST, NULL, 0, NI_NUMERICHOST);
                printf("\tbroadcast address: <%s>\n", host);
            }
        }
    }

    freeifaddrs(ifaddr);
    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
