Is this an open source app? I'm trying to create an
app that is simlar.
The app, AFAIK, is not open source. I am not even sure that the
functionality invoked by each of the tabs is open source, but there
are open source equivalents. All the below, except for nmap, are
available on the darwin site.
If not, here are a couple of questions:
- can the entire network (TCP/IP) stack be restarted?
ie, stop and restarted?
What do you mean by "restart", and why do you want to do that?
The Darwin/BSD stack really doesn't have that kind of functionality,
for almost any definition (short of restart == reboot).
- I have a couple of examples to get the MAC address
for each interface, how can the IP address be
retreived? What happen if it is DHCP assigned?
(just use sysctrl to get the info, ie like ifconfig?)
"man getifaddrs". Also, searching the archives couldn't hurt. It
will often get you started more quickly.
And, since you ask, the notion of "the IP address" is ill-defined.
Regards,
Justin
