Function getip::get_ip

pub async fn get_ip(
    ip_type: IpType, 
    ip_scope: IpScope, 
    nic: Option<&str>
) -> Result<IpAddr>

Receive a IP address of family ip_type that has a scope of ip_scope on an interface named nic.

If ip_scope is Global, the address is received from an external service, and nic is ignored. If nic is None, this function uses the first one returned by the OS.

Examples

Get an global IPv4 address:

use getip::get_ip;
use getip::{IpScope, IpType, Result};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let address = get_ip(IpType::Ipv4, IpScope::Global, None).await?;
    println!("{}", address);
    Ok(())
}
