GetNetIPInterface

GetNetIPInterface is a function or method commonly found in networking libraries or operating system APIs that is used to retrieve information about a specific network interface. The primary purpose of GetNetIPInterface is to provide details about a particular network adapter, such as its IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and potentially other configuration parameters. The specific implementation and return values can vary depending on the programming language, operating system, and the library being used.

Typically, calling GetNetIPInterface requires specifying an identifier for the network interface. This identifier might be a name (e.g., "eth0", "Wi-Fi"), an index number, or a unique hardware address. The function then queries the system's network configuration to gather the requested details for that interface. The information returned is often structured as a data object or a set of variables, allowing developers to programmatically access and utilize the network interface's properties. This is crucial for applications that need to bind to specific IP addresses, determine network connectivity, or manage network routing.
