raku Sys::IP

Get system IP / Interfaces with Raku programming language

VERSION

0.1.0

DESCRIPTION

Get system IP/DNS/Gateway addresses and interfaces. It doesn't rely on ifconfig/ipconfig etc. It does this by using routing table default route and C ABI. All method works fine on Linux only ( for now ). BSD is the next target.

Coming soon

BSD, Windows

Why not ifconfig / ipconfig

Really ?

Example

use Sys::IP;

# Get system default IP
say Sys::IP.new.get_default_ip(); # 192.168.0.1

# Get all active IP's
say Sys::IP.new.get_ips(); # [ 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2 ]

# Get all active interfaces
say Sys::IP.new.get_interfaces(); # [ { name => eth0, ip-addr => 192.168.0.1 }, ...]

# Get all DNS addresses
say Sys::IP.new.get_dns_ips(); # [ 127.0.0.23, 8.8.8.8 ]

Constructor

• :$ipv6 = False include ipv6 addresses
• :$loopback = False include loopback interface
• :$active = True include only active interfaces
• :$ip = True include only interfaces with assigned IP address

Methods

• new( Bool :$ipv6 = False, Bool :$loopback = False, Bool :$active = True, Bool :$ip = True --> Sys::IP )
• get_default_ip( --> Str ) when used with :ipv6 it will return only ipv6 address
• get_ips( --> Array )
• get_interfaces( --> Array[Hash] )

Instalation

zef install Sys::IP

Testing

prove -ve 'perl6 -Ilib'
