Linux getting all network interface names

by

You could check which entries from getifaddrs belong to the AF_PACKET family. On my system that seems to list all interfaces:

struct ifaddrs *addrs,*tmp;

getifaddrs(&addrs);
tmp = addrs;

while (tmp)
{
    if (tmp->ifa_addr && tmp->ifa_addr->sa_family == AF_PACKET)
        printf("%s\n", tmp->ifa_name);

    tmp = tmp->ifa_next;
}

freeifaddrs(addrs);
