Enable interface / set IP from C++ (with Qt) and Linux

Question

I need to bring an interface up/down from C++ running on Linux, and set the IP/netmask (And I use Qt in case that helps).

I need to create the equivalent capability of the ifconfig command from within c++. Is there an interface/library available to help me do this?

The source code for `ifconfig` is available. – Oswald Oct 27 '13 at 17:38 — Oswald, Oct 27 '13 at 17:38

You have to do it through ioctls: /usr/include/linux/sockios.h Welcome to Linux!
