There's no easy way (that I know of) to get the mac address in FreeBSD.
(time for a SIOCGIFLLADDR?) You may look at how ifconfig does it, but
I think the following method is a little bit easier:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <net/if_dl.h>
#include <net/if_types.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
struct ifconf ifc;
struct ifreq *ifr;
struct sockaddr_dl *sdl;
char buf[4096], *p;
int s;
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
if (s < 0)
err(-1, "socket");
ifc.ifc_len = sizeof buf;
ifc.ifc_buf = buf;
if (ioctl(s, SIOCGIFCONF, &ifc) < 0)
err(-1, "ioctl");
close(s);
for (p = buf; p < buf + ifc.ifc_len; ) {
ifr = (struct ifreq *)p;
if (ifr->ifr_addr.sa_family == AF_LINK) {
sdl = (struct sockaddr_dl *)&ifr->ifr_addr;
if (sdl->sdl_type == IFT_ETHER) {
unsigned char *ea = LLADDR(sdl);
printf("%s\t%x:%x:%x:%x:%x:%x\n", ifr->ifr_name,
ea[0], ea[1], ea[2], ea[3], ea[4], ea[5]);
}
}
p += _SIZEOF_ADDR_IFREQ(*ifr);
}
}
