How to do ARP on OS X?


  • Subject: How to do ARP on OS X?

We need to detect the hardware address of a device when we know it's IP
address.

Is there a standard Unix or OS X way of finding out a hosts hardware address?

On OS/9 I just wrote a ARP interface. On OS X that doesnt work because
the ARP resolver is always listening to the incoming packets, which means
that my socket cant listen for the packets.

So, is there a way of resolving a host IP address into a host hardware
address from the application level? (I note the arp command from the
shell. I would prefer not to use a shell command as an "API".)
