在Linux上(如Ubuntu或CentOS), 获取某个Network Interface比如eth0的IP地址等信息，我们可以使用ifconfig或者ip addr show命令。
$ ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr :::ba:8d:be
inet addr:192.168.1.102 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80:::64ff:feba:8dbe/ Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU: Metric:
RX packets: errors: dropped: overruns: frame:
TX packets: errors: dropped: overruns: carrier:
collisions: txqueuelen:
RX bytes: (29.1 MB) TX bytes: (4.0 MB)
Interrupt: $ ip addr show eth0
: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu qdisc mq state UP group default qlen
link/ether :::ba:8d:be brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.1.102/ brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 fe80:::64ff:feba:8dbe/ scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
那么用C语言编程怎么实现呢？ 先用strace工具观察一下ifconfig eth0的运行内幕。
$ strace ifconfig eth0

注意上面的socket()和ioctl(), 我们不难发现如下关键调用，
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 4
ioctl(4, SIOCGIFADDR, {ifr_name="eth0", ifr_addr={AF_INET, inet_addr("192.168.1.102")}}) = 0
ioctl(4, SIOCGIFNETMASK, {ifr_name="eth0", ifr_netmask={AF_INET, inet_addr("255.255.255.0")}}) = 0
好了，现在可以上C代码了，(foo_get.c)
/**

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h> int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

struct sockaddr_in *addr = NULL; if (argc != ) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s <ifname>\n", argv[]);
return -;

memset(&ifr, , sizeof(struct ifreq)); /* 0. create a socket */
int fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP);

ifr.ifr_addr.sa_family = AF_INET; /* 2. copy interface name to ifreq structure */

goto done; char ipv4[] = { };

done:

}
编译并测试，
$ gcc -g -Wall -std=gnu99 -o foo_get foo_get.c $ ./foo_get eth0
IFNAME:IPv4:MASK
eth0:192.168.1.102:255.255.255.0 $ ./foo_get lo
IFNAME:IPv4:MASK
