Thanks a lot! You can see example usage in the URLs that I posted
in the first email in this thread. If you move to getifaddrs(3),
that might make our life much easier in future.

NET_RT_IFLIST is considered somewhat internal API, between
kernel and libc. A year ago, we did run over all software in
FreeBSD ports collection to check whether any port uses it,
and look like a year ago no one did:
