I've been looking for a way to manipulate network configurations. Required functions are;



  1. Set/get ip/netmask of an interface.

  2. Set/get route table information.

  3. Add/remove networks from/to route table.

  4. Add/remove virtual interfaces (such as ppp0).

  5. Up/down network interfaces

  6. Get general information about the interface (such as received/transmitted byte count, flags, mac address etc.)

There is a huge amount of "piece-of-codes" on the web to implement one of the functions described above but couldn't find a proper source that contains good documentation regarding those topics.



Does anyone know what is the topic that I should search? Or can anyone offer a resource/guide that I can read or follow?



Just stuck a little bit.



Thanks.

          This is very much dependent on the operating system. If you are targeting Linux, you could have a look at how the ip command from the Iproute2 package does this.
