I am using getifaddrs() and inet_ntop() to get the ip addresses on the system. When the system is set to IPv6 the address returned is in the shortened version (using :: for zeros). Is there any way to expand that address to a full one?
This is the code I am using:
struct ifaddrs *myaddrs, *ifa;
void *in_addr;
char buf[64];
if(getifaddrs(&myaddrs) != 0)
{
perror("getifaddrs");
exit(1);
}
for (ifa = myaddrs; ifa != NULL; ifa = ifa->ifa_next)
{
if (ifa->ifa_addr == NULL)
continue;
if (!(ifa->ifa_flags & IFF_UP))
continue;
switch (ifa->ifa_addr->sa_family)
{
case AF_INET:
{
struct sockaddr_in *s4 = (struct sockaddr_in *)ifa->ifa_addr;
in_addr = &s4->sin_addr;
break;
}
case AF_INET6:
{
struct sockaddr_in6 *s6 = (struct sockaddr_in6 *)ifa->ifa_addr;
in_addr = &s6->sin6_addr;
break;
}
default:
continue;
}
if (!inet_ntop(ifa->ifa_addr->sa_family, in_addr, buf, sizeof(buf)))
{
printf("%s: inet_ntop failed!\n", ifa->ifa_name);
}
else
{
printf("IP address: %s\n", buf);
}
}
freeifaddrs(myaddrs);
Code is greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
Since this is apparently very hard to comprehend I will give you an example:
If I get abcd:12::3 I need to expand it to abcd:0012:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0003
The reason? because it's part of the requirements. Simple as that.
