libifconfig is a simple library that exports the basic capabilities of the ifconfig(8) administrative tool on Unix operating systems. It allows ifconfig's functions to be performed programatically without executing ifconfig, and provides easy access to the information typically returned from ifconfig. Moreover, libifconfig does this through an interface common to multiple platforms, improving portability.
