I can use 255.255.255.255 broadcast address on Windows 98, when I broadcast
a udp packet.
But I have to use netaddress of the host on Linux.
Is there a way that I can get net address of the host?
or subnet mask so that I can send broadcast packet?
Thank you.

'man getnetbyname' can also be helpful .

1. Getting IP Address and Subnet Mask of the local machine in network.
Hi,
I have the name of the remote host in my local network. I will get
the IP address of the remote host by using gethostbyname() function.
I will get the name of the local machine using gethostname. and IP
address by using gethostbyname.
Now I want to check that the given IP address ( remote host ) is in
my subnet or not. For that I need to get the Subnet Mask of the
network. Is there any API to get the subnet mask of the network ?
Waiting for the response at the earliest.,
Thanks in advance and Regards.
