network-interface

Retrieve system's Network Interfaces/Adapters on Android, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, iOS and Windows on a standarized manner

Crates.io Documentation Build Clippy Formatter

This crate is under development, feel free to contribute on GitHub. API and implementation is subject to change.

The main goal of network-interface crate is to retrieve system's Network Interfaces in a standardized manner.

standardized manner means that every supported platform must expose the same API and no further changes to the implementation are required to support such platform.

Usage

use network_interface::NetworkInterface;
use network_interface::NetworkInterfaceConfig;

fn main() {
    let network_interfaces = NetworkInterface::show().unwrap();

    for itf in network_interfaces.iter() {
        println!("{:?}", itf);
    }
}
Output
NetworkInterface { name: "lo", addr: Some(V4(V4IfAddr { ip: 127.0.0.1, broadcast: Some(127.0.0.1), netmask: Some(255.0.0.0) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "wlp1s0", addr: Some(V4(V4IfAddr { ip: 192.168.0.16, broadcast: Some(192.168.0.255), netmask: Some(255.255.255.0) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "wg0", addr: Some(V4(V4IfAddr { ip: 10.8.0.4, broadcast: Some(10.8.0.4), netmask: Some(255.255.255.0) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "docker0", addr: Some(V4(V4IfAddr { ip: 172.17.0.1, broadcast: Some(172.17.255.255), netmask: Some(255.255.0.0) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "lo", addr: Some(V6(V6IfAddr { ip: ::1, broadcast: None, netmask: Some(ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "wlp1s0", addr: Some(V6(V6IfAddr { ip: <redacted>, broadcast: None, netmask: Some(ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "docker0", addr: Some(V6(V6IfAddr { ip: <redacted>, broadcast: None, netmask: Some(ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "veth9d2904f", addr: Some(V6(V6IfAddr { ip: <redacted>, broadcast: None, netmask: Some(ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::) })) }
NetworkInterface { name: "vethcdd79af", addr: Some(V6(V6IfAddr { ip: <redacted>, broadcast: None, netmask: Some(ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::) })) }
