hi ,
I want to know some advance info about ioctl.
ioctl has command SIOCGIFADDR
this returns interface structure as a third argument.
What i dont know is which descriptor to pass as its first argument.
I mean what type of file/socket i have to open and then pass its
descriptor to ioctl to make this work.
You may assume that i want to make ifconfig command of my own.
Thanks in Advance
