+.Dt IF_NAMETOINDEX 3
+.Os KAME
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm if_nametoindex ,
+.Nm if_indextoname ,
+.Nm if_nameindex ,
+.Nm if_freenameindex
+.Nd convert interface index to name, and vice versa
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <net/if.h>
+.Ft "unsigned int"
+.Fn if_nametoindex "const char *ifname"
+.Ft "char *"
+.Fn if_indextoname "unsigned int ifindex" "char *ifname"
+.Ft "struct if_nameindex *"
+.Fn if_nameindex "void"
+.Ft "void"
+.Fn if_freenameindex "struct if_nameindex *ptr"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The functions map interface index to readable interface name
+.Po
+such as
+.Li ``lo0''
+.Pc
+, and vice versa.
+.Pp
+.Fn if_nametoindex
+converts readable interface name to interface index
+.Pp positive integer value .
+If the specified interface does not exist, 0 will be returned.
+.Pp
+.Fn if_indextoname
+converts interface index to readable interface name.
+The
+.Fa ifname
+argument must point to a buffer of at least
+.Dv IF_NAMESIZE
+bytes into which the interface name corresponding to the specified index is
+returned.
+.Po
+.Dv IF_NAMESIZE
+is also defined in
+.Li <net/if.h>
+and its value includes a terminating null byte at the end of the
+interface name.
+.Pc
+This pointer is also the return value of the function.
+If there is no interface corresponding to the specified index,
+.Dv NULL
+is returned.
+.Pp
+.Fn if_nameindex
+returns an array of
+.Fa if_nameindex
+structures.
+.Fa if_nametoindex
+is also defined in
+.Li <net/if.h> ,
+and is as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset
+struct if_nameindex {
+    unsigned int   if_index;  /* 1, 2, ... */
+    char          *if_name;   /* null terminated name: "le0", ... */
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The end of the array of structures is indicated by a structure with
+an
+.Fa if_index
+of 0 and an
+.Fa if_name
+of
+.Dv NULL .
+The function returns a
+.Dv NULL
+pointer upon an error.
+The memory used for this array of structures along with the interface
+names pointed to by the
+.Fa if_name
+members is obtained dynamically.
+This memory is freed by the
+.Fn if_freenameindex
+function.
+.Pp
+.Fn if_freenameindex
+takes a pointer that was returned by
+.Fn if_nameindex
+as argument
+.Pq Fa ptr ,
+and it reclaims the region allocated.
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+.Fn if_nametoindex
+returns 0 on error, positive integer on success.
+.Fn if_indextoname
+and
+.Fn if_nameindex
+return
+.Dv NULL
+on errors.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The implementation first appeared in WIDE Hydrangea IPv6 protocol stack kit.
+.Sh STANDARDS
+These functions are defined in ``Basic Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6''
+.Pq RFC2533 .
