Very Computer

If someone knows why the following piece of code fails, please let me
know.
I a m trying to use ioctl call to obtain a ifconf structure.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <errno.h>

#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <sys/sockio.h>

main()
{
int ne;
struct ifconf *ifstat;
int code;

ne = open( "/dev/net/we0", O_RDONLY );
if (ne == -1)
        {
        printf("FATAL : Unable to open network device\n");
        exit(-1);
        }

ifstat = (struct ifconf *) malloc(sizeof(struct ifconf));
if (ifstat == NULL)
        {
        printf("FATAL : Unable to allocate memory (%d)\n",sizeof(struct
ifconf));

memset(ifstat,0,sizeof(struct ifconf));

ifstat->ifc_len = 100;

code = ioctl(ne,SIOCGIFCONF , &ifstat);
if (code == -1)
        {
        printf("FATAL : IOCTL failed (%d)\n",errno);
        exit(-1);
        }

Quote:}

ioctl fails with errno 22, I do not see why.

Anyone ?

here is the output :
FATAL : IOCTL failed (22)

If anyone can help, please drop me an e-mail
