Does libpcap allow me to get the interface IP address
Yes - use pcap_findalldevs() and look for the interface in question; note, however, that you really mean "the interface's IP addresses", plural, as an interface could have more than one IPv4 address and/or more than one IPv6 address.
and MAC address?
No.
If it's not currently supported, is this something that is planned for a future release?
I'm not sure I'd use the word "planned", as there isn't a formal plan, but I'd like to provide an API to provide that in the future.- This is the tcpdump-workers list. Visit https://cod.sandelman.ca/ to unsubscribe.
