Hi,

I'm working on a project that has incorporated some interface lookup code for enumerating out ethernet interfaces on Linux.

The problem I'm running into is that the project uses PF_PACKET as the socket type when creating the socket:

Here's the function call in question:

sd = socket(PF_PACKET, SOCK_RAW, 0);

I did some digging and found the following:

The Mac OS X 10.2.6 man page for socket() lists the following understood formats:

AF_UNIX (UNIX internal protocols),
AF_INET (ARPA Internet protocols),
AF_ISO (ISO protocols),
AF_NS (Xerox Network Systems protocols), and
AF_IMPLINK (IMP host at IMP link layer).


Linux's socket() man page shows the following:

PF_UNIX, PF_LOCAL Local communication unix(7)
PF_INET IPv4 Internet protocols ip(7)
PF_INET6 IPv6 Internet protocols
PF_IPX IPX - Novell protocols
PF_NETLINK Kernel user interface device netlink(7)
PF_X25 ITU-T X.25 / ISO-8208 protocol x25(7)
PF_AX25 Amateur radio AX.25 protocol
PF_ATMPVC Access to raw ATM PVCs
PF_APPLETALK Appletalk ddp(7)
PF_PACKET Low level packet interface packet(7)

My question is:

Do I have an alternative option similar to PF_PACKET?

If not, is there an alternative?

Thanks!
