And following are some of the namespaces used in Open C Socket Interface:
- if_freenameindex -- Free memory allocated by if_nameindex
- if_indextoname -- Maps a network interface index to its corresponding name
- if_nameindex -- Returns all network interface names and indexes
- if_nametoindex -- Maps a network interface name to its corresponding index
A 3rd-party application needs the NetworkServices capabilities in order to use socket interface functions.
libc.lib should be linked while using the above functions and sys/socket.h should be included.
