Hello, I'm a newbie of Mac OS X (10.4)
programming,
trying to
port windows applications to Mac OS X.
The
application uses a windows API called
"GetAdaptersInfo",
which returns a list of structures of network interface
information,
for
example:
IP,
MAC
adress,
gateway,
network type: (ethernet, pppoe,
token ring, loopback, ...)
DHCP is enabled or
not,
DHCP
server,
DHCP lease
time,
etc.
I spent so much time on
surveying equivalent functions or APIs for Mac OS
X,
the command line utility
"ifconfig" is out, I need a function call,
the BSD library function
"getifaddrs" is fine, but it doesn't contain enough information I list
above.
finally, I found the System
Configuration Framework,
but I have kind of
data exchange problems below:
For example, the function
"SCNetworkInterfaceGetInterface",
it returns a reference to
target interface, called "SCNetworkInterfaceRef",
but how do I use this reference
to extract information, and put it into C data types like character array,
integers or something like that?
The type definition of
"SCNetworkInterfaceRef" is:
typedef const struct
__SCNetworkInterface * SCNetworkInterfaceRef;
but I can't find
the definition of "struct __SCNetworkInterface",
I even try to use Xcode IDE to
get this information, but it doesn't work.
So, is there any way (or is it
right) to work these APIs with C program? Thanks.
