Get ALL IP addresss of my system

[Sung-hee Kim]

Hi,

I want to know how to program to get all ip addesses of my system. I don't want using ifconfig or SNMP.

If you know some function or library, let me know.

Thank you in advance,

Hi,
Would
#grep "IP_ADDRESS" /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
do the trick ?

Regards,
Tom

Getting the information from /etc/rc.config.d/netconf, may provide inaccurate information if the file has been modified. What is the problem with getting it from 'ifconfig' output?

[Ralph Grothe]

How about parsing the output of
netstat -in
?
Mind you, if you run a cluster several IP addresseses probably will be bound to the same NICs.

[Scott Van Kalken]

No matter which way you look at it, if your machine has a GSP and a lan console configured, you'll need to get at least one of them manually.

[Sung-hee Kim]

I don't like parsing the output. I want another way to find ip.

If there is no way, I can use "netstat -in".

Hi,
Try
#man gethostbyaddr
#man gethostbyname
I believe there is a sample program in there too ...

Is that what you were looking for ?

Tom

Use the following command and look at the last few lines to get your system IP addresses,

#print_manifest

[Roberto Severo]

Just complementing Arockia:

The ignite-UX must be installed, and if the command isn't in the $PATH, just type:

/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest

Hi,

I guess the function that you are looking for is gethostent() which returns
struct hostent where you'll
have all the ip addresses of your system.

Look at the man page for gethostent() for more info.
