  1. ioctl Function • ioctl function • get_ifi_info function • ARP cache operations: eg. Print H/W addresses

  2. ioctl Function #include <unistd.h> int ioctl (int fd, int request, … /* void *arg */ ); returns: 0 if OK, -1 on error type of *arg depends on request

  3. ioctl Function (Cont.)

  4. get_ifi_info Functionreturns a linked list of ifconf structures • Create a TCP or UDP socket • Issue SIOCGIFCONF request in ioctl in a loop • Initialize linked list pointers • Step to next socket address structure • Handle aliases • Fetch interface flags • Allocate and initialize ifi_info structure

  5. ARP Cache Operationse.g. print hardware addresses of host • Get list of addresses and loop through each • Print IP address • Issue ioctl and print hardware address #include <net/if_arp.h> struct arpreq { struct sockaddr arp_pa; /* protocol address */ struct sockaddr arp_ha; /* hardware address */ int arp_flags; /* flags */ }; #define ATF_INUSE 0x01 /* entry in use */ #define ATF_COM 0x02 /* completed entry (hardware addr valid */ #define ATF_PERM 0x04 /* permanent entry */ #define ATF_PUBL 0x08 /* published entry (respond for other host */
