GEtting number and names of network interfaces (Linux)

[Martin Knoblauch <Martin.Knoblauch@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 I am currently evaluating performance monitoring/measuring tools for a
mostly Linux based cluster environment. Due to some history, PCP came to
my mind :-)

 I installed the binary package and it seems to do a lot of the things
we need. One thing I am missing is the number and the names of the
network interfaces.

 A quick look at the sources seems to indicate that the information
itself is available, but not exported. Am I correct with this?

 If I wanted to add the fileds to the network metrics, what cautions dio
I need to observe. I don't want to break things ...

Thanks
Martin
