nics(1)                                      Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit                                     nics(1)

NAME
       nics - Host Network Interface Enumerator

SYNOPSIS
       nics

DESCRIPTION
       Search  host  for  Ethernet  interfaces and display the interface index, hardware address, IP address, interface name and
       interface description on stdout.  This provides a simple, consistent,  cross-platform  format  for  presenting  interface
       information to scripts and user applications.

COMMENTS
       This  program  illustrates  use  of basic Atheros Ethernet interface C functions.  See program ifs for an alternative C++
       implementation.

OPTIONS
       -?,--help
              Print program help summary on stdout.  This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.

       -!,--version
              Print program version information on stdout.  This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
              Use this option when sending screen dumps to Intellon Technical Support so that they know exactly which version of
              the Linux Toolkit you are using.

ARGUMENTS
       None.

EXAMPLES
       The following example searches a Linux host and displays information about available interfaces.

          # nics
          2 00:50:04:A5:D8:98 000.000.000.000 eth4 eth4
          3 00:0F:EA:4B:98:CB 192.168.172.239 eth3 eth3

       The following example searches a MacOSX host and displays information about available interfaces.  Observe that interface
       names are varied.

          # nics
          4 00:26:BB:52:DD:A8 192.168.172.149 en0 en0
          6 04:1E:64:F0:FB:EC 000.000.000.000 en1 en1
