Hi Peter,

You can use if_nameto_index() to do this, see man page here: 
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/if_nametoindex.3.html

That will give you the index from the interfaces name (e.g. eth0, eno1, etc.).

Is that what you?re looking for?

Thanks,
Callum

Subject: [avahi] Publishing Services on Specific Interfaces


I am integrating avahi-client in a Linux application to publish a TCP-based 
service on two separate local networks, each on their own interface.  Since the 
service uses the ephemeral TCP port range, the listening port on network #1 and 
network #2 will almost always be different, so I want to add the service on 
each network/interface individually as to publish the right port number.  It 
appears avahi_entry_group_add_service() can take an interface index argument 
for this purpose; how can I look up the index for a given interface/network on 
my system?



Thanks,

Peter Shilliday
