55 * The second function maps an interface index into its corresponding
60 * char *if_indextoname(unsigned int ifindex, char *ifname);
62 * The ifname argument must point to a buffer of at least IF_NAMESIZE
63 * bytes into which the interface name corresponding to the specified
64 * index is returned. (IF_NAMESIZE is also defined in <net/if.h> and
65 * its value includes a terminating null byte at the end of the
66 * interface name.) This pointer is also the return value of the
67 * function. If there is no interface corresponding to the specified
68 * index, NULL is returned, and errno is set to ENXIO, if there was a
69 * system error (such as running out of memory), if_indextoname returns
70 * NULL and errno would be set to the proper value (e.g., ENOMEM).
