I would like to get the IP address of one of the interfaces of the machine that I'm currently on from within some C++ code. It looks like I should be able to do this by doing an ioctl(atoi(fd, SIOCGIFADDR, &ifr) with the interface name set in the appropriate field in ifr, but I'm not sure how I should be getting the proper value for fd. I would appreciate some help on this, or if there is a better way then I'd love to hear it.
