    Reading network Config Paramters



    Hi,

    I want to read network configuration paramters like IP, Gateway and DNS from my C code.

    Should I read the config file /etc/resolv.conf or Is there any "structure" which gives the current network configuration parameter values.

    Please suggest.

    I would recommend just using `ifconfig` and using `grep`or a simple Perl script to process the output. You could also use the "regex.h" header file but I've never used it myself.

    If you'd like, I'd be willing to write a Perl script for you that does this.
