[oclug] [OT] C: get local ip?

[Matt Rose]

I don't think that'll do what you think it'll do.  just from looking at
the man page, all it does is read the line in /etc/networks, which, under
linux just contain the network address of the subnet you're in.
Unfourtunately, I don't know of any way to do what the original poster was
asking, other than using IN_ADDR_ANY, but I know getnetent won't do it.
