gsknetworkinterface Obtain information about your local network interfaces. These methods allow you to obtain information about the local network interfaces. A network interface is abstract jargon for an ethernet card, that is, it's a device that transmits and receives packets. Or, it can be a virtual interface, like the loopback interface is. One other possibility is that the interface is an alias: this sort of trick is done to make a computer listen on two IP addresses. The information returned by this function is a name for each interface (the same name as returned by ifconfig) and addresses, mostly the address used to connect to this device, ie your IP address (with port set to 0). Information about a single network interface. @ifname: the name of the interface. @address: the IP address of the interface (with port set to 0). @hw_address: the ethernet address of the interface. @p2p_address: the remote IP address of a point-to-point connection. @broadcast: the broadcast IP address. Information about a number of network interfaces. @num_interfaces: the number of interfaces. @interfaces: the interfaces. Constraints governing which interfaces to return. @GSK_NETWORK_INTERFACE_UP: The interface must be up, ready to transmit and receive packets. @GSK_NETWORK_INTERFACE_LOOPBACK: The interface must be a loopback interface, a virtual interface, as opposed to a piece of hardware. @GSK_NETWORK_INTERFACE_NON_LOOPBACK: The interface must be a non-loopback interface, an actual piece of hardware. @GSK_NETWORK_INTERFACE_HAS_BROADCAST: The interface must have a broadcast address. @GSK_NETWORK_INTERFACE_HAS_MULTICAST: The interface must have a multicast support. @flags: @Returns: @set:
