how to get IPV6 interface address using getifaddr() function [duplicate]

• How to know the IP address for interfaces in C using IPv6 1 answer

I have getifaddrs() definition but it is for IPv4. Please guide me how to get IPv6 if address using the getifaddrs() function.

回答1:

getifaddrs does support IPv6. Here's an example on how to print the name and IP address of all interfaces on the system:

struct ifaddrs *ifa, *ifa_tmp;
char addr[50];

if (getifaddrs(&ifa) == -1) {
    perror("getifaddrs failed");
    exit(1);
}

ifa_tmp = ifa;
while (ifa_tmp) {
    if ((ifa_tmp->ifa_addr) && ((ifa_tmp->ifa_addr->sa_family == AF_INET) ||
                              (ifa_tmp->ifa_addr->sa_family == AF_INET6))) {
        if (ifa_tmp->ifa_addr->sa_family == AF_INET) {
            // create IPv4 string
            struct sockaddr_in *in = (struct sockaddr_in*) ifa_tmp->ifa_addr;
            inet_ntop(AF_INET, &in->sin_addr, addr, sizeof(addr));
        } else { // AF_INET6
            // create IPv6 string
            struct sockaddr_in6 *in6 = (struct sockaddr_in6*) ifa_tmp->ifa_addr;
            inet_ntop(AF_INET6, &in6->sin6_addr, addr, sizeof(addr));
        }
        printf("name = %s\n", ifa_tmp->ifa_name);
        printf("addr = %s\n", addr);
    }
    ifa_tmp = ifa_tmp->ifa_next;
}
