INTERFACE_INFO_EX Structure

The INTERFACE_INFO_EX structure is used in conjunction with the SIO_GET_INTERFACE_LIST IOCTL command to obtain information about an interface IP address. Unlike the INTERFACE_INFO structure, INTERFACE_INFO_EX is address-size independent, enabling it to work with IPv6.

Syntax

typedef struct _INTERFACE_INFO_EX {
  u_long         iiFlags;
  SOCKET_ADDRESS iiAddress;
  SOCKET_ADDRESS iiBroadcastAddress;
  SOCKET_ADDRESS iiNetmask;
} INTERFACE_INFO_EX, FAR * _LPINTERFACE_INFO_EX;

Mitglieder

• iiFlags
  Bitmask describing the status of the interface. The following flags are possible.

  Flag	Bedeutung
  IFF_UP	The interface is running.
  IFF_BROADCAST	The broadcast feature is supported.
  IFF_LOOPBACK	The loopback interface is running.
  IFF_POINTTOPOINT	The interface is using point-to-point link.
  IFF_MULTICAST	The multicast feature is supported.

   

• iiAddress
  Address of an interface.

• iiBroadcastAddress
  Broadcast address of the interface or the address of the other side for point-to-point links.

• iiNetmask
  Netmask used by the interface.

Hinweise

On the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) released for Windows Vista and later, the organization of header files has changed and the INTERFACE_INFO_EX structure is defined in the Ws2ipdef.h header file which is automatically included in the Ws2tcpip.h header file. The Ws2ipdef.h header files should never be used directly.
