This adds the
name_to_index()
andindex_to_name()
methods. They are basically wrappers around ioctl calls described here. The relevant code in glibc can be found here forname_to_index()
and here forindex_to_name()
.The tests pass locally but I'm not sure whether
lo
and/sys/class/net/lo/ifindex
are universal enough to consider them acceptable for tests.
