[David Holder]

Jeremy,

Is the purpose of this code to enumerate interfaces or addresses? The 
reason that I ask is that the standard way to enumerate interfaces is  
if_nameindex().

Listing addresses is harder. On most, but not all, platforms 
getifaddrs() is IPv4 only. A number of platforms, but not all, support 
the use of the SIOCGIFADDR ioctl to enumerate IPv6 addresses. On Linux 
rtnetlink can be used.
