基本介绍:
ifreq结构定义在/usr/include/net/if.h,用来配置ip地址,激活接口,配置MTU等接口信息的。其中包含了一个接口的名字和具体内容——(是个共用体,有可能是IP地址,广播地址,子网掩码,MAC号,MTU或其他内容)。ifreq包含在ifconf结构中。而ifconf结构通常是用来保存所有接口的信息的。
举例说明:
在Linux系统中,ifconfig命令是通过ioctl接口与内核通信,例如,当系统管理员输入如下命令来改变接口eth0的MTU大小:
ifconfig eth0 mtu 1250
ifconfig命令首先打开一个socket,然后通过系统管理员输入的参数初始化一个数据结构,并通过ioctl调用将数据传送到内核。SIOCSIFMTU是命令标识符。
struct ifreq data;
fd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
< ... initialize "data" ...>
err = ioctl(fd, SIOCSIFMTU, &data);
