getifs-0.1.0 has been yanked.

Get network interfaces information (including MTU) in a fast way (say bye to libc::getifaddrs).

Installation

[dependencies]
getifs = "0.1"

Details

OS	Approach
Linux	`socket(AF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW \| SOCK_CLOEXEC, NETLINK_ROUTE)`
BSD-based	Uses of `sysctl` to retrieve network interfaces
Windows	`GetAdaptersAddresses`

Why a new network interfaces crate?

Because all of current network interfaces crates do not support fetching MTU, and almost all of them are using libc::getifaddrs. This crate tries to avoid unneeded allocation and use more underlying method to achieve the same functionalities.
