Here is a demo program that should provide enough information to
figure out how to extract just about any type of information you
want about an IP interface.

This was developed on Linux; however it should work on any BSD
system with perhaps a few adjustements on which header files are
included.

/*
* display info about network interfaces
*/

#define _BSD_SOURCE

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <net/if_arp.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>

#define inaddrr(x) (*(struct in_addr *) &ifr->x[sizeof sa.sin_port])
#define IFRSIZE ((int)(size * sizeof (struct ifreq)))

static int
get_addr(int sock, char * ifname, struct sockaddr * ifaddr) {

struct ifreq *ifr;
struct ifreq ifrr;
struct sockaddr_in sa;

ifr = &ifrr;

ifrr.ifr_addr.sa_family = AF_INET;

strncpy(ifrr.ifr_name, ifname, sizeof(ifrr.ifr_name));

if (ioctl(sock, SIOCGIFADDR, ifr) < 0) {
printf("No %s interface.\n", ifname);
return -1;
}

*ifaddr = ifrr.ifr_addr;
printf("Address for %s: %s\n", ifname, inet_ntoa(inaddrr(ifr_addr.sa_data)));
return 0;
}

int main(void)
{
unsigned char *u;
int sockfd, size = 1;
struct ifreq *ifr;
struct ifconf ifc;
struct sockaddr_in sa;


if (0 > (sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP))) {
fprintf(stderr, "Cannot open socket.\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

ifc.ifc_len = IFRSIZE;
ifc.ifc_req = NULL;

do {
++size;
/* realloc buffer size until no overflow occurs */
if (NULL == (ifc.ifc_req = realloc(ifc.ifc_req, IFRSIZE))) {
fprintf(stderr, "Out of memory.\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
ifc.ifc_len = IFRSIZE;
if (ioctl(sockfd, SIOCGIFCONF, &ifc)) {
perror("ioctl SIOCFIFCONF");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
} while (IFRSIZE <= ifc.ifc_len);

/* this is an alternate way to get info... */
{
struct sockaddr ifa;
get_addr(sockfd, "ppp0", &ifa);
}

ifr = ifc.ifc_req;
for (;(char *) ifr < (char *) ifc.ifc_req + ifc.ifc_len; ++ifr) {

if (ifr->ifr_addr.sa_data == (ifr+1)->ifr_addr.sa_data) {
continue; /* duplicate, skip it */
}

if (ioctl(sockfd, SIOCGIFFLAGS, ifr)) {
continue; /* failed to get flags, skip it */
}

printf("Interface: %s\n", ifr->ifr_name);
printf("IP Address: %s\n", inet_ntoa(inaddrr(ifr_addr.sa_data)));

/*
This won't work on HP-UX 10.20 as there's no SIOCGIFHWADDR ioctl. You'll
need to use DLPI or the NETSTAT ioctl on /dev/lan0, etc (and you'll need
to be root to use the NETSTAT ioctl. Also this is deprecated and doesn't
work on 11.00).

On Digital Unix you can use the SIOCRPHYSADDR ioctl according to an old
utility I have. Also on SGI I think you need to use a raw socket, e.g. s
= socket(PF_RAW, SOCK_RAW, RAWPROTO_SNOOP)
