NAME

       nics - Host Network Interface Enumerator

SYNOPSIS

       nics

DESCRIPTION

       Search  host for Ethernet interfaces and display the interface index, hardware address, IP
       address, interface name and interface description on  stdout.   This  provides  a  simple,
       consistent, cross-platform format for presenting interface information to scripts and user
       applications.

COMMENTS

       This program illustrates use of basic Atheros Ethernet interface C functions.  See program
       ifs for an alternative C++ implementation.

OPTIONS

       -?,--help
              Print  program  help  summary  on  stdout.  This option takes precedence over other
              options on the command line.

       -!,--version
              Print program version information on stdout.  This  option  takes  precedence  over
              other  options  on  the command line.  Use this option when sending screen dumps to
              Intellon Technical Support so that they know exactly which  version  of  the  Linux
              Toolkit you are using.

ARGUMENTS

       None.

EXAMPLES

       The  following  example  searches  a  Linux  host and displays information about available
       interfaces.

          # nics
          2 00:50:04:A5:D8:98 000.000.000.000 eth4 eth4
          3 00:0F:EA:4B:98:CB 192.168.172.239 eth3 eth3

       The following example searches a MacOSX host  and  displays  information  about  available
       interfaces.  Observe that interface names are varied.

          # nics
          4 00:26:BB:52:DD:A8 192.168.172.149 en0 en0
          6 04:1E:64:F0:FB:EC 000.000.000.000 en1 en1
