Function nix::ifaddrs::getifaddrs[][src]

pub fn getifaddrs() -> Result<InterfaceAddressIterator>
Expand description

Get interface addresses using libc’s getifaddrs

Note that the underlying implementation differs between OSes. Only the most common address families are supported by the nix crate (due to lack of time and complexity of testing). The address family is encoded in the specific variant of SockAddr returned for the fields address, netmask, broadcast, and destination. For any entry not supported, the returned list will contain a None entry.

Example

let addrs = nix::ifaddrs::getifaddrs().unwrap();
for ifaddr in addrs {
  match ifaddr.address {
    Some(address) => {
      println!("interface {} address {}",
               ifaddr.interface_name, address);
    },
    None => {
      println!("interface {} with unsupported address family",
               ifaddr.interface_name);
    }
  }
}
