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
