Constants

REGEX_MAP = { :linux => { :ipaddress => /inet addr:([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)/, :ipaddress6 => /inet6 addr: ((?![fe80|::1])(?>[0-9,a-f,A-F]*\:{1,2})+[0-9,a-f,A-F]{0,4})/, :macaddress => /(?:ether|HWaddr)\s+((\w{1,2}:){5,}\w{1,2})/, :netmask => /Mask:([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)/, :mtu => /MTU:(\d+)/   A map of all the different regexes that work for a given platform or set of platforms.

Public Class methods

Convert an interface name into purely alphanumeric characters.

exec_ifconfig uses the ifconfig command

@return [String] the output of `ifconfig #{arguments} 2>/dev/null` or nil

get_ifconfig looks up the ifconfig binary

@return [String] path to the ifconfig binary

get_interface_value obtains the value of a specific attribute of a specific interface.

@param interface [String] the interface identifier, e.g. "eth0" or "bond0"

@param label [String] the attribute of the interface to obtain a value for, e.g. "netmask" or "ipaddress"

@api private

@return [String] representing the requested value. An empty array is returned if the kernel is not supported by the REGEX_MAP constant.

hpux_netstat_in is a delegate method that allows us to stub netstat -in without stubbing exec.
