This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
|

The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
|
|
the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
|
|
or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

.SH NAME

.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
The \fIif_nameindex\fP() function shall return an array of \fIif_nameindex\fP
|
|
structures, one structure per interface. The end
|
|
of the array is indicated by a structure with an \fIif_index\fP field
|
|
of zero and an \fIif_name\fP field of NULL.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Applications should call \fIif_freenameindex\fP() to release the memory
|
|
that
|
|
may be dynamically allocated by this function, after they have finished
|
|
using it.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
.LP
|
|
An array of structures identifying local interfaces. A NULL pointer
|
|
is returned upon an error, with \fIerrno\fP set to indicate
|
|
the error.
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
.LP
|
|
The \fIif_nameindex\fP() function may fail if:
|
|
.TP 7
|
|
.B ENOBUFS
|
|
Insufficient resources are available to complete the function.
