Okay, I've managed to find code that does this. However, RTM_GETLINK does not
appear to return any IPv4 addressing information. It does, however, contain
the MTU details which is one of the three things I wanted.
I found that RTM_GETADDR will give me the IPv4 address and something from
which I can calculate the netmask.
I don't suppose there's a single op that will allow me to get all three in one
go?
Oh, and can I assume that the interface index numbers returned by RTM_GETLINK
match those returned by RTM_GETADDR? Even if an interface is removed between
issuing the two calls? Alternatively, do I need to compare interface names as
those are available between both?
