to my knowledge, usocket does not provide an API to get a list of all<br>
network interfaces, which is what you need to do if you want to know<br>
the local IP address(es).<br>
<br>
One quick workaround is to invoke ifconfig and parse the output.  I<br>
know that this is not a very satisfying or portable approach, but it<br>
is quick.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks.
