Just be aware that getifaddrs(3) (which does seem to be a quite useful
function) is not very portable.
It appears to be available on recent releases of all the *BSDs, but it
does not seem to exist on Solaris or Linux.

Now, if you don't need your program to be portable this is of course
not a problem, but writing unportable code should be an informed
decision rather than done out of ignorance.
