Example

use default_net;

fn main(){
    match default_net::get_default_interface() {
        Ok(default_interface) => {
            println!("Default Interface");
            println!("\tIndex: {}", default_interface.index);
            println!("\tName: {}", default_interface.name);
            println!("\tDescription: {:?}", default_interface.description);
            if let Some(mac_addr) = default_interface.mac_addr {
                println!("\tMAC: {}", mac_addr);
            }else{
                println!("\tMAC: (Failed to get mac address)");
            }
            println!("\tIPv4: {:?}", default_interface.ipv4);
            println!("\tIPv6: {:?}", default_interface.ipv6);
            if let Some(gateway) = default_interface.gateway {
                println!("Default Gateway");
                println!("\tMAC: {}", gateway.mac_addr);
                println!("\tIP: {}", gateway.ip_addr);
            }else {
                println!("Default Gateway: (Not found)");
            }
        },
        Err(e) => {
            println!("{}", e);
        },

v0.6.0

Remove libpnet from Windows build dependencies and changed to windows-rs only.

For Windows users using v0.5.0 or lower

To build libpnet on Windows, follow the instructions below.

Windows

You must use a version of Rust which uses the MSVC toolchain

You must have WinPcap or npcap installed (tested with version WinPcap 4.1.3) (If using npcap, make sure to install with the "Install Npcap in WinPcap API-compatible Mode")

You must place Packet.lib from the WinPcap Developers pack in a directory named lib, in the root of this repository. Alternatively, you can use any of the locations listed in the %LIB%/$Env:LIB environment variables. For the 64 bit toolchain it is in WpdPack/Lib/x64/Packet.lib, for the 32 bit toolchain, it is in WpdPack/Lib/Packet.lib.
