NETDEVICE(7) Linux Programmer's Manual NETDEVICE(7)
NAME
netdevice - low-level access to Linux network devices
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <net/if.h>
DESCRIPTION
This man page describes the sockets interface which is used to config‐
ure network devices.
Linux supports some standard ioctls to configure network devices. They
can be used on any socket's file descriptor regardless of the family or
type. Most of them pass an ifreq structure:
struct ifreq {
char ifr_name[IFNAMSIZ]; /* Interface name */
union {
struct sockaddr ifr_addr;
struct sockaddr ifr_dstaddr;
struct sockaddr ifr_broadaddr;
struct sockaddr ifr_netmask;
struct sockaddr ifr_hwaddr;
short ifr_flags;
int ifr_ifindex;
int ifr_metric;
int ifr_mtu;
struct ifmap ifr_map;
char ifr_slave[IFNAMSIZ];
char ifr_newname[IFNAMSIZ];
char *ifr_data;
};
};
Normally, the user specifies which device to affect by setting ifr_name
to the name of the interface. All other members of the structure may
share memory.
Ioctls
If an ioctl is marked as privileged, then using it requires an effec‐
tive user ID of 0 or the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. If this is not the
case, EPERM will be returned.
SIOCGIFNAME
Given the ifr_ifindex, return the name of the interface in
ifr_name. This is the only ioctl which returns its result in
ifr_name.
SIOCGIFINDEX
Retrieve the interface index of the interface into ifr_ifindex.
SIOCGIFFLAGS, SIOCSIFFLAGS
Get or set the active flag word of the device. ifr_flags con‐
tains a bit mask of the following values:
tab(:); c s l l. Device flags IFF_UP:Interface is running.
IFF_BROADCAST:Valid broadcast address set. IFF_DEBUG:Internal
debugging flag. IFF_LOOPBACK:Interface is a loopback interface.
IFF_POINTOPOINT:Interface is a point-to-point link. IFF_RUN‐
NING:Resources allocated. IFF_NOARP:T{ No arp protocol, L2 des‐
tination address not set. T} IFF_PROMISC:Interface is in pro‐
miscuous mode. IFF_NOTRAILERS:Avoid use of trailers. IFF_ALL‐
MULTI:Receive all multicast packets. IFF_MASTER:Master of a
load balancing bundle. IFF_SLAVE:Slave of a load balancing bun‐
dle. IFF_MULTICAST:Supports multicast IFF_PORTSEL:Is able to
select media type via ifmap. IFF_AUTOMEDIA:Auto media selection
active. IFF_DYNAMIC:T{ The addresses are lost when the inter‐
face goes down. T} IFF_LOWER_UP:Driver signals L1 up (since
Linux 2.6.17) IFF_DORMANT:Driver signals dormant (since Linux
2.6.17) IFF_ECHO:Echo sent packets (since Linux 2.6.25)
Setting the active flag word is a privileged operation, but any process
may read it.
SIOCGIFPFLAGS, SIOCSIFPFLAGS
Get or set extended (private) flags for the device. ifr_flags
contains a bit mask of the following values:
tab(:); c s l l. Private flags IFF_802_1Q_VLAN:Interface is
802.1Q VLAN device. IFF_EBRIDGE:Interface is Ethernet bridging
device. IFF_SLAVE_INACTIVE:Interface is inactive bonding slave.
IFF_MASTER_8023AD:Interface is 802.3ad bonding master. IFF_MAS‐
TER_ALB:Interface is balanced-alb bonding master. IFF_BOND‐
ING:Interface is a bonding master or slave.
IFF_SLAVE_NEEDARP:Interface needs ARPs for validation. IFF_ISA‐
TAP:Interface is RFC4214 ISATAP interface.
Setting the extended (private) interface flags is a privileged opera‐
tion.
SIOCGIFADDR, SIOCSIFADDR
Get or set the address of the device using ifr_addr. Setting
the interface address is a privileged operation. For compati‐
bility, only AF_INET addresses are accepted or returned.
SIOCGIFDSTADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR
Get or set the destination address of a point-to-point device
using ifr_dstaddr. For compatibility, only AF_INET addresses
are accepted or returned. Setting the destination address is a
privileged operation.
SIOCGIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFBRDADDR
Get or set the broadcast address for a device using ifr_brdaddr.
For compatibility, only AF_INET addresses are accepted or
returned. Setting the broadcast address is a privileged opera‐
tion.
SIOCGIFNETMASK, SIOCSIFNETMASK
Get or set the network mask for a device using ifr_netmask. For
compatibility, only AF_INET addresses are accepted or returned.
Setting the network mask is a privileged operation.
SIOCGIFMETRIC, SIOCSIFMETRIC
Get or set the metric of the device using ifr_metric. This is
currently not implemented; it sets ifr_metric to 0 if you
attempt to read it and returns EOPNOTSUPP if you attempt to set
it.
SIOCGIFMTU, SIOCSIFMTU
Get or set the MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit) of a device using
ifr_mtu. Setting the MTU is a privileged operation. Setting
the MTU to too small values may cause kernel crashes.
SIOCGIFHWADDR, SIOCSIFHWADDR
Get or set the hardware address of a device using ifr_hwaddr.
The hardware address is specified in a struct sockaddr. sa_fam‐
ily contains the ARPHRD_* device type, sa_data the L2 hardware
address starting from byte 0. Setting the hardware address is a
privileged operation.
SIOCSIFHWBROADCAST
Set the hardware broadcast address of a device from ifr_hwaddr.
This is a privileged operation.
SIOCGIFMAP, SIOCSIFMAP
Get or set the interface's hardware parameters using ifr_map.
Setting the parameters is a privileged operation.
struct ifmap {
unsigned long mem_start;
unsigned long mem_end;
unsigned short base_addr;
unsigned char irq;
unsigned char dma;
unsigned char port;
};
The interpretation of the ifmap structure depends on the device
driver and the architecture.
SIOCADDMULTI, SIOCDELMULTI
Add an address to or delete an address from the device's link
layer multicast filters using ifr_hwaddr. These are privileged
operations. See also packet(7) for an alternative.
SIOCGIFTXQLEN, SIOCSIFTXQLEN
Get or set the transmit queue length of a device using ifr_qlen.
Setting the transmit queue length is a privileged operation.
SIOCSIFNAME
Changes the name of the interface specified in ifr_name to
ifr_newname. This is a privileged operation. It is allowed
only when the interface is not up.
SIOCGIFCONF
Return a list of interface (transport layer) addresses. This
currently means only addresses of the AF_INET (IPv4) family for
compatibility. Unlike the others, this ioctl passes an ifconf
structure:
struct ifconf {
int ifc_len; /* size of buffer */
union {
char *ifc_buf; /* buffer address */
struct ifreq *ifc_req; /* array of structures */
};
};
If ifc_req is NULL, SIOCGIFCONF returns the necessary buffer
size in bytes for receiving all available addresses in ifc_len.
Otherwise, ifc_req contains a pointer to an array of ifreq
structures to be filled with all currently active L3 interface
addresses. ifc_len contains the size of the array in bytes.
Within each ifreq structure, ifr_name will receive the interface
name, and ifr_addr the address. The actual number of bytes
transferred is returned in ifc_len.
If the size specified by ifc_len is insufficient to store all
the addresses, the kernel will skip the exceeding ones and
return success. There is no reliable way of detecting this con‐
dition once it has occurred. It is therefore recommended to
either determine the necessary buffer size beforehand by calling
SIOCGIFCONF with ifc_req set to NULL, or to retry the call with
a bigger buffer whenever ifc_len upon return differs by less
than sizeof(struct ifreq) from its original value.
If an error occurs accessing the ifconf or ifreq structures,
EFAULT will be returned.
Most protocols support their own ioctls to configure protocol-specific
interface options. See the protocol man pages for a description. For
configuring IP addresses, see ip(7).
In addition, some devices support private ioctls. These are not
described here.
NOTES
Strictly speaking, SIOCGIFCONF and the other ioctls that accept or
return only AF_INET socket addresses, are IP-specific and belong in
ip(7).
The names of interfaces with no addresses or that don't have the
IFF_RUNNING flag set can be found via /proc/net/dev.
Local IPv6 IP addresses can be found via /proc/net or via rtnetlink(7).
BUGS
glibc 2.1 is missing the ifr_newname macro in <net/if.h>. Add the fol‐
lowing to your program as a workaround:
#ifndef ifr_newname
#define ifr_newname ifr_ifru.ifru_slave
#endif
