See http://people.freebsd.org/~bms/dump/mcastlist/ for the original
code (harti@ submitted most of the kernel bits).

I didn't specifically set out to test getifmaddrs(3) with AF_INET6
addresses when I wrote it, but I seem to recall that it should work
with them, from testing.

If not, please feel free to submit a PR with a patch.

Thanks,
