【Linux环境编程】获取网卡的实时网速
在windows以下。我们能够看到360或者是qq安全卫士的“安全球”。上面显示实时的网速情况。那么在linux里面怎样获取网卡的实时网速？事实上原理非常easy，读取须要获取网速的网卡在某段时间dT内流量的变化dL，那么实时网速就出来了,Speed = dL / dt。
linux在ifaddrs.h中提供了函数：
/* Create a linked list of `struct ifaddrs' structures, one for each
network interface on the host machine. If successful, store the
list in *IFAP and return 0. On errors, return -1 and set `errno'.
The storage returned in *IFAP is allocated dynamically and can
only be properly freed by passing it to `freeifaddrs'. */
extern int getifaddrs (struct ifaddrs **__ifap) __THROW;
/* Reclaim the storage allocated by a previous `getifaddrs' call. */
extern void freeifaddrs (struct ifaddrs *__ifa) __THROW;
系统会创建一个包括本机全部网卡信息链表，然后我们就能够在这个链表里面获取我们想要的信息。
/* The `getifaddrs' function generates a linked list of these structures.
Each element of the list describes one network interface. */
struct ifaddrs
{
struct ifaddrs *ifa_next; /* Pointer to the next structure. */
char *ifa_name; /* Name of this network interface. */
unsigned int ifa_flags; /* Flags as from SIOCGIFFLAGS ioctl. */
struct sockaddr *ifa_addr; /* Network address of this interface. */
struct sockaddr *ifa_netmask; /* Netmask of this interface. */
union
{
/* At most one of the following two is valid. If the IFF_BROADCAST
bit is set in `ifa_flags', then `ifa_broadaddr' is valid. If the
IFF_POINTOPOINT bit is set, then `ifa_dstaddr' is valid.
It is never the case that both these bits are set at once. */
struct sockaddr *ifu_broadaddr; /* Broadcast address of this interface. */
struct sockaddr *ifu_dstaddr; /* Point-to-point destination address. */
} ifa_ifu;
/* These very same macros are defined by <net/if.h> for `struct ifaddr'.
So if they are defined already, the existing definitions will be fine. */
# ifndef ifa_broadaddr
# define ifa_broadaddr ifa_ifu.ifu_broadaddr
# endif
# ifndef ifa_dstaddr
# define ifa_dstaddr ifa_ifu.ifu_dstaddr
# endif
void *ifa_data; /* Address-specific data (may be unused). */
};另外这个链表我们是能够提前用ioctl来筛选的，能够通过ifa_name和ifa_flags来确定ifa_ifu里面究竟选用那个union。只是这次我们是来測量实时网速的，不必要关心这个。
我们须要关心的是ifa_data这个项。关于这个项我百度了非常多。一直没有发现他究竟应该属于哪个结构体的。
后来无意在http://blog.chinaunix.net/uid-22832715-id-292763.html发现有相似的，可是我找不到头文件在那。所以后来干脆我直接把他放到我的头文件中面；
struct if_data{
/* generic interface information */
u_char ifi_type; /* ethernet, tokenring, etc */
u_char ifi_addrlen; /* media address length */
u_char ifi_hdrlen; /* media header length */
u_long ifi_mtu; /* maximum transmission unit */
u_long ifi_metric; /* routing metric (external only) */
u_long ifi_baudrate; /* linespeed */
/* volatile statistics */
u_long ifi_ipackets; /* packets received on interface */
u_long ifi_ierrors; /* input errors on interface */
u_long ifi_opackets; /* packets sent on interface */
u_long ifi_oerrors; /* output errors on interface */
u_long ifi_collisions; /* collisions on csma interfaces */
u_long ifi_ibytes; /* total number of octets received */
u_long ifi_obytes; /* total number of octets sent */
u_long ifi_imcasts; /* packets received via multicast */
u_long ifi_omcasts; /* packets sent via multicast */
u_long ifi_iqdrops; /* dropped on input, this interface */
u_long ifi_noproto; /* destined for unsupported protocol */
struct timeval ifi_lastchange;/* last updated */
};刚刚開始我就打印了ifi_iobytes,ifi_obytes这两个项，无论我怎么下载和上次文件，这两个量都是0。纠结了我半天。我就直接把全部变量都打印出来。发现ifi_mtu,ifi_metric,ifi_baudrate跟ifconfig eth0输出的数据非常像。
[15:12 @ ~/program/netspeed]$ ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:22:15:67:F8:16
inet addr:210.42.158.204 Bcast:210.42.158.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX bytes:132866544 (126.7 MiB) TX bytes:1250785627 (1.1 GiB)
Interrupt:29 Base address:0x4000 慢慢的我知道了规律，struct ifaddrs里面的ifa_data前四个字（32位）以此是发送数据包数。接收数据包数，发送字节数，接收字节数。
我就又一次调整了struct if_data的结构体，因为后面的数据全为0，我就保留了4项：
struct if_data
{
/* generic interface information */
u_long ifi_opackets; /* packets sent on interface */
u_long ifi_ipackets; /* packets received on interface */
u_long ifi_obytes; /* total number of octets sent */
u_long ifi_ibytes; /* total number of octets received */
}; 測试OK。
[15:17 @ ~/program/netspeed]$ ./netspeed Get eth0 Speed [OK] eth0: Up Speed: 1.671066 MB/s || Down Speed: 0.036335 MB/s附上我已经封装好的代码：
int get_if_dbytes(struct if_info* ndev)
{
assert(ndev);
struct ifaddrs *ifa_list = NULL;
struct ifaddrs *ifa = NULL;
struct if_data *ifd = NULL;
int ret = 0;

ndev->ifi_obytes = ifd->ifi_obytes;

}
}
freeifaddrs(ifa_list);
end:
return (ret ? -1 : 0);

int get_if_speed(struct if_speed *ndev)
{
assert(ndev);
struct if_info *p1=NULL,*p2=NULL;
p1 = (struct if_info *)malloc(sizeof(struct if_info));
