In my pitiful attempt to hack on WINE I have come to an impasse. I have managed to find portable equivalents to get the interface name and the number of interfaces in winsock/wsock32 but I can't seem to find a portable way to get to the routing table. In Solaris (why I'm doing the hacking) there is a vague mention in the man pages of being able to get this info by reading /dev/ip but no information about how to actually do it.
Can anyone provide a hint on how this can be done portably or to a multi-os implementation of netstat that might serve as an example. (Only netstat sources I have found are OS specific)
Hurry because in desperation I am actually thinking of piping the output of netstat -r
Thanks
Bob

You can't realy do that in a portable way. That's why I choosed to parse /proc/net/route (and because most of the winsock stuff was also only Linux specific).

That seems to be the most resonable way to go. If you want to also parse the header of the netstat output you should set LANG=C before.
