Hi all,
I'm trying to port a MacOSX app to windows and I've come up against a problem around getifaddrs. Basically windows does not support it. I'm trying to figure a way to re-implement it (for AF_INET and AF_INET6) but the "equivalent" functionality on windows appears to be nothing like the MacOSX support.
Has someone done this sort of conversion before? If so is there a nice way I can get windows to report me interface info like MacOSX does?
maybe win32 port of libpcap can help you?
(or port of libnet, if one exists)
The closest functions on Windows are GetAdaptersInfo and GetAdaptersAddresses. The MSDN documentation is pretty comprehensive, so you should find everything you need.
I've done it here, including a separate version for Wine as the IP version agnostic routines don't current work as expected,
