[PLUG] determining my IP address in C

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I want to determine my own IP address.

A kludgy way is to bind to a high port, send myself (on 127.0.0.1) a
packet containing only a long random number, and look at the from
address.  Even then I might see 127.0.0.1, though.

I bet there's a better way.  Anyone know?

If the box has multiple interfaces, the above fails.  Is their a way
to get all the addresses that are me?

Solutions involving parsing the output of popen("/sbin/ifconfig") will
not be considered. ;-)
