Try something like the following:
struct ifaddrs *if_ptr, *ifap;
if (getifaddrs(&ifap) == -1) {
fatal(strerror(errno));
/*NOTREACHED*/
}
/* iterate over the list of interfaces on the machine */
for (if_ptr = ifap; if_ptr; if_ptr = if_ptr->ifa_next) {
switch (if_ptr->ifa_addr->sa_family) {
case AF_INET:
/* check that the interface is UP before we try to use it */
flags = if_ptr->ifa_flags;
if (!(flags & IFF_UP)) break;
/* do something here using if_ptr->ifa_addr */
case AF_INET6:
/* do something else for IPv6... */
}
}
...although be sure to call ntohl() on the address to get things in the local
byte-ordering...
