✨ localinfo(1) — the local network addresses bestie ✨

okay so real talk, this is localinfo from the General Commands Manual section, and it's giving "small tool, big slay" energy. Let me put you on 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

localinfo — list local network addresses. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🦋 Synopsis 🦋

localinfo [-imdn46gslh] [domainname]

💖 Description 💖

so the localinfo utility does exactly one (1) thing and it does it gorgeously: it obtains the local network addresses and prints them. no cap. that's the tea 🍓

✨ Options ✨

the localinfo utility accepts the following command line options, and bestie, there are eleven of them, so let's go:

  • -i — include the interface name. you get names, you get addresses, you get everything 🫶
  • -m — map IPv4 addresses. yes queen, do the mapping 💅
  • -d — require a reverse DNS entry. no reverse entry, no service. strict but iconic 😤
  • -n — use numeric host names. numbers only, no name drama ✨
  • -4 — IPv4 only. v4 girlies rise 🌸
  • -6 — IPv6 only, but plot twist: it's including mapped IPv4 addresses 👀
  • -g — Global addresses. the worldwide main characters 👑
  • -s — Site-level addresses. mid-tier but still valid 🧚
  • -l — Link-level addresses. local besties only 💜
  • -h — Host-internal addresses. the most private, the most mysterious 🙈

🌈 Examples 🌈

say you wanna find out your local IPv6 addresses — say less:

$ localinfo -6

and say you wanna find out the link-local addresses, but you want them numeric, because names are a lot:

$ localinfo -l -n
