The Friendly IP Tool

This tool simply gives you output of the ip addresses on your systems, and what interfaces they're attached to. It yields this in a format compatible with tools like 'awk' or other useful text processors for easy use in scripts.

Installing

git clone git://github.com/erikh/tfip
cd tfip
make tfip

Usage

Just running tfip is the simplest introduction. Just running that will give you a list of all the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and the interfaces they are attached to on a machine.

There are two arguments:

• tfip 4 will only display IPv4 addresses
• tfip 6 will only display IPv6 addresses

Example

$ tfip
lo: 127.0.0.1
enp3s0: 10.0.1.6
docker0: 172.17.42.1
lo: ::1
enp3s0: fe80::ae22:bff:fe2b:6b71%enp3s0
enp3s0: fe80::eaec:25ce:1f4:5ac5%enp3s0
docker0: fe80::5484:7aff:fefe:9799%docker0
docker0: fe80::5ed2:fa94:613f:6138%docker0

$ tfip 4
lo: 127.0.0.1
enp3s0: 10.0.1.6
docker0: 172.17.42.1

$ tfip 6
lo: ::1
enp3s0: fe80::ae22:bff:fe2b:6b71%enp3s0
enp3s0: fe80::eaec:25ce:1f4:5ac5%enp3s0
docker0: fe80::5484:7aff:fefe:9799%docker0
docker0: fe80::5ed2:fa94:613f:6138%docker0
