ipconfig: Show the IP address of an interface.
$ ipconfig getifaddr ${interface_name}
try on your machine
The command "ipconfig getifaddr ${interface_name}" is used to retrieve the IP address assigned to a specific network interface on a device. Here's a breakdown of each component:
- "ipconfig": This is a command-line utility used to display the IP configuration settings of network interfaces on a device. It is commonly used on Windows operating systems.
- "getifaddr": This is an argument or parameter passed to the ipconfig command to specify that you want to retrieve the IP address of a specific interface.
- "${interface_name}": This is a placeholder that represents the name of the network interface for which you want to get the IP address. You need to replace "${interface_name}" with the actual name of the interface you want to query. For example, if you want to find the IP address of the Wi-Fi interface, you would replace "${interface_name}" with "Wi-Fi".
