GetLocalInterfaces -- get local interfaces (V9.0)
- Synopsis
-
t = GetLocalInterfaces([linklocal])
- Function
-
This function returns a list of all network interfaces that are currently available.
This allows you to conveniently determine a system's local IP address. If the optional
linklocal argument is set to True, link-local addresses will be included as well.
GetLocalInterfaces() will return a table that contains a number of subtables, each
describing a local interface. The following fields will be initialized in each
subtable:
Name:-
The name of the interface.
Address:-
The address of the interface. Depending on the setting of the
Protocol tag
(see below), this may be either an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
Protocol:-
The protocol of the interface. This will be one of the following predefined
constants:
#IPV4:-
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). IPv4 addresses are limited to 32 bits
and are represented using four numbers separated by three dots, e.g. 127.0.0.1.
#IPV6:-
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). IPv6 addresses use 128 bits and are
represented by eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, e.g. 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334.
Note that
#IPV6 is currently unsupported on AmigaOS and compatible systems.
- Inputs
-
- linklocal
- optional:
True to include link-local addresses in the return
table, False to exclude them (defaults to False)
- Results
-
- t
- table containing a list of all local interfaces
- Example
-
t = GetLocalInterfaces()
For Local k = 0 To ListItems(t) - 1
NPrint(t[k].Name, t[k].Address, t[k].Protocol)

The code above prints information about all available network interfaces.
