Names of ip interfaces

In either the 7.2 or 8.0 inspector documentation, it shows an example for “names of ip interfaces of network”, which says that it “Returns a list of the names of the network IP interfaces, e.g., lo0, en0.”.

Is that inspector just for linux? It doesn’t appear to work in Windows, or at least in the relevance debugger.

If it’s not there for Windows, could we have that added? I was hoping that “names of ip interfaces” would work similar to “names of adapters of network”. I’m tying the guid of the adapter to the guid of the ip interface to get the IP addresses of active adapters. Right now I’m intersecting the “names of adapters” against the names of the keys of HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces". Using the inspector would shorten up my relevance.

Yes… The name of network ip interfaces is only available in Linux/Unix/Mac (see http://support.bigfix.com/cgi-bin/inspectorsearch/single_inspector.cgi?keyphrase=name+of+%26lt%3Bnetwork+ip+interface%26gt%3B&type=network+ip+interface&win=WinSkip&lin=LinSkip&hpux=HPUXSkip&mac=MacSkip&aix=AIXSkip&sol=SolSkip&client=1&core=1&session=1&regex=1)

What about using the “connections” inspector on Windows:

q: (name of it, guid of it, status of it = connection status connected ) of connections of network
A: Bluetooth Network Connection, {08B11D2D-977E-40BB-B34F-986509EEAAE9}, False
A: Wireless Network Connection, {B8D22504-7D2C-43A2-BC48-3CBAF18365C5}, False
A: Local Area Connection 2, {CB9C80E8-0E3E-4AE5-9B23-5F5BFC84E534}, True
A: Local Area Connection, {4A5E34B3-E03C-46BE-AC5C-0E08C47DEBAC}, True
