NAME
----
ziflist - list of network interfaces available on system

SYNOPSIS
--------
----
//  This is a stable class, and may not change except for emergencies. It
//  is provided in stable builds.
//  Get a list of network interfaces currently defined on the system
CZMQ_EXPORT ziflist_t *
    ziflist_new (void);

//  Destroy a ziflist instance
CZMQ_EXPORT void
    ziflist_destroy (ziflist_t **self_p);

//  Reload network interfaces from system
CZMQ_EXPORT void
    ziflist_reload (ziflist_t *self);

//  Return the number of network interfaces on system
CZMQ_EXPORT size_t
    ziflist_size (ziflist_t *self);

//  Get first network interface, return NULL if there are none
CZMQ_EXPORT const char *
    ziflist_first (ziflist_t *self);

//  Get next network interface, return NULL if we hit the last one
CZMQ_EXPORT const char *
    ziflist_next (ziflist_t *self);

//  Return the current interface IP address as a printable string
CZMQ_EXPORT const char *
    ziflist_address (ziflist_t *self);

//  Return the current interface broadcast address as a printable string
CZMQ_EXPORT const char *
    ziflist_broadcast (ziflist_t *self);

//  Return the current interface network mask as a printable string
CZMQ_EXPORT const char *
    ziflist_netmask (ziflist_t *self);

//  Return the list of interfaces.
CZMQ_EXPORT void
    ziflist_print (ziflist_t *self);

//  Self test of this class.
CZMQ_EXPORT void
    ziflist_test (bool verbose);

DESCRIPTION
-----------

The ziflist class takes a snapshot of the network interfaces that the
system currently supports (this can change arbitrarily, especially on
mobile devices). The caller can then access the network interface
information using an iterator that works like zlistx. Only stores those
interfaces with broadcast capability, and ignores the loopback interface.

Please add @discuss section in ../src/ziflist.c.

EXAMPLE
-------
.From ziflist_test method
----
ziflist_t *iflist = ziflist_new ();
assert (iflist);

size_t items = ziflist_size (iflist);

if (verbose) {
    printf ("ziflist: interfaces=%zu\n", ziflist_size (iflist));
    const char *name = ziflist_first (iflist);
    while (name) {
        printf (" - name=%s address=%s netmask=%s broadcast=%s\n",
                name, ziflist_address (iflist), ziflist_netmask (iflist), ziflist_broadcast (iflist));
        name = ziflist_next (iflist);
    }
}
ziflist_reload (iflist);
assert (items == ziflist_size (iflist));
ziflist_destroy (&iflist);
