Network interfaces discoveryNetwork interfaces discovery — Utility functions to discover local network interfaces |
#include <gst/farsight/fs-interfaces.h> gchar* fs_interfaces_get_ip_for_interface (gchar *interface_name); GList* fs_interfaces_get_local_interfaces (void); GList* fs_interfaces_get_local_ips (gboolean include_loopback);
These utility functions allow the discovery of local network interfaces in a portable manner, they also allow finding the local ip addresses or the address allocated to a network interface.
gchar* fs_interfaces_get_ip_for_interface (gchar *interface_name);
Retreives the IPv4 address of an interface by its name
interface_name : |
name of local interface |
| Returns : | a newly-allocated string with the IP address |
GList* fs_interfaces_get_local_interfaces (void);
Get the list of local interfaces
| Returns : | a newly-allocated GList of strings. The caller must free it. |
