Folks.
Sorry for what appears to be a really simple Question, but I can't
find a simple answer
I want to find out the IP address assigned to my en0 ethernet
interface, programatically.
Both Steve and Vincent provided good answers, but since you have a
program that does what you want, why not check its source to see how
it was done? If that doesn't help, 'netstat' and 'ifconfig' both do
similar things. But wait! There's more: the 'what' command might
help as well:
$ what /usr/sbin/ipconfig
/usr/sbin/ipconfig
PROGRAM:ipconfig PROJECT:bootp-133 DEVELOPER:root
BUILT:Wed Mar 23 23:45:02 PST 2005
$ what /usr/sbin/netstat
/usr/sbin/netstat
Copyright (c) 1983, 1988, 1993
PROGRAM:netstat PROJECT:network_cmds-245.15
DEVELOPER:root BUILT:Tue Aug 15 22:03:39 PDT 2006

so you can track these to their lairs and lay them open to
inspection :-}. Admittedly, this doesn't always provide the
projects, but you can hope :-}
