network-interface 1.1.4

Retrieve system's Network Interfaces on Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and Windows on a standarized manner
Documentation

Crates.io Documentation Build Clippy Formatter

This crate is under development, feel free to contribute on GitHub. API and implementation is subject to change.

The main goal of network-interface crate is to retrieve system's Network Interfaces in a standardized manner.

standardized manner means that every supported platform must expose the same API and no further changes to the implementation are required to support such platform.

Usage

use network_interface::NetworkInterface;
use network_interface::NetworkInterfaceConfig;

fn main() {
    let network_interfaces = NetworkInterface::show().unwrap();

    for itf in network_interfaces.iter() {
        println!("{:?}", itf);
    }
}
NetworkInterface { name: "lo", addr: Some(V4(V4IfAddr { ip: 127.0.0.1, broadcast: Some(127.0.0.1), netmask: Some(255.0.0.0) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "wlp1s0", addr: Some(V4(V4IfAddr { ip: 192.168.0.16, broadcast: Some(192.168.0.255), netmask: Some(255.255.255.0) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "wg0", addr: Some(V4(V4IfAddr { ip: 10.8.0.4, broadcast: Some(10.8.0.4), netmask: Some(255.255.255.0) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "docker0", addr: Some(V4(V4IfAddr { ip: 172.17.0.1, broadcast: Some(172.17.255.255), netmask: Some(255.255.0.0) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "lo", addr: Some(V6(V6IfAddr { ip: ::1, broadcast: None, netmask: Some(ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "wlp1s0", addr: Some(V6(V6IfAddr { ip: <redacted>, broadcast: None, netmask: Some(ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "docker0", addr: Some(V6(V6IfAddr { ip: <redacted>, broadcast: None, netmask: Some(ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "veth9d2904f", addr: Some(V6(V6IfAddr { ip: <redacted>, broadcast: None, netmask: Some(ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "vethcdd79af", addr: Some(V6(V6IfAddr { ip: <redacted>, broadcast: None, netmask: Some(ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::) })) }
