Function Documentation

get_interface_friendly_name_from_device_guid()

char * get_interface_friendly_name_from_device_guid ( __in GUID *  guid )

extern

Get the friendly name for a network interface using its GUID.

Parameters

guid	Pointer to the GUID structure representing the network interface.

Returns

A dynamically allocated string containing the friendly name of the interface, or NULL if the operation fails.

get_windows_interface_friendly_name()

char * get_windows_interface_friendly_name ( const char *  interface_devicename )

extern

Get the friendly name for a network interface using its device name.

Given a device name, try to extract the GUID from it and parse it. If that fails, return NULL; if that succeeds, attempt to get the friendly name for the interface in question. If that fails, return NULL, otherwise return the friendly name, allocated with g_malloc() (so that it must be freed with g_free()).

Parameters

interface_devicename

Pointer to the string representing the network interface's device name.

Returns

A dynamically allocated string containing the friendly name of the interface, or NULL if the operation fails.
