The equivalent CFFI code would be something like:

(with-foreign-object (p :pointer)
(getifaddrs p)
(foreign-slot-value (mem-ref p :pointer) 'ifaddrs 'name))

If you define NAME's type to be :STRING, that code will yield a Lisp string.

That works, thanks

The man page shows that the allocated struct should be free calling freeifaddrs:

void freeifaddrs(struct ifaddrs *ifa);

(freeifaddrs (cffi:mem-ref p :pointer))

is that the correct way to call freeifaddrs?
