Here is a program that prints out my ethernet address on my DECstation 3100 running ULTRIX 3.1:


#include 
#include 
#include 
#include

#include 

extern int errno;

main(ac, av)
    int ac;
    char *av [];
{
    int s;
    char *line = "------------------------------------";
    char device [IFNAMSIZ+1];

    /* structure used to query de and qe for physical addresses

        struct ifdevea {
            char    ifr_name[IFNAMSIZ];
            char    default_pa[6];
            char    current_pa[6];
        };
    */
    struct ifdevea hw_addr;

    s = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);

    if (s < 0)  {
        perror ("socket:");
        exit (3);
    }

    if (ac > 1 && strlen (av [1]) <= IFNAMSIZ)
        strcpy (&hw_addr.ifr_name [0], av [1]);
    else    strcpy (&hw_addr.ifr_name [0], "se0");

    if (ioctl(s, SIOCRPHYSADDR, (caddr_t) &hw_addr) < 0) {
        perror ("ioctl: SIOCRPHYSADDR");
        close(s);
        exit (1);
    }

    printf ("\n%s\n", line);
    printf ("addresses for %s :\n", &hw_addr.ifr_name [0]);
    printf ("%s\n", line);
    print_addr ("hardware-address", &hw_addr.default_pa [0]);
    print_addr ("current-address ", &hw_addr.current_pa [0]);
    printf ("%s\n", line);
    close(s);
}

print_addr (what, ether_addr)
    char *what, *ether_addr;
    {
    printf ("%s = %02x-%02x-%02x-%02x-%02x-%02x\n", what,
                ether_addr [0] & 0xff,
                ether_addr [1] & 0xff,
                ether_addr [2] & 0xff,
                ether_addr [3] & 0xff,
                ether_addr [4] & 0xff,
                ether_addr [5] & 0xff);
    }
