Shit comes from you eyes maybe ?

Correction : Shit comes from your eyes, definitely.

Proof :

# strace -o /tmp/STRACE ifconfig -a
# grep SIOCGIFCONF /tmp/STRACE
ioctl(4, SIOCGIFCONF, {120, {{"lo", {AF_INET, inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}},
{"wlan0", {AF_INET, inet_addr("192.168.1.21")}}, {"ppp0", {AF_INET,
inet_addr("10.150.51.210")}}}}) = 0


Part of ifconfig :

ifc.ifc_buf = NULL;
for (;;) {
ifc.ifc_len = sizeof(struct ifreq) * numreqs;
ifc.ifc_buf = xrealloc(ifc.ifc_buf, ifc.ifc_len);

if (ioctl(skfd, SIOCGIFCONF, &ifc) < 0) {
perror("SIOCGIFCONF");
goto out;
}
if (ifc.ifc_len == sizeof(struct ifreq) * numreqs) {
/* assume it overflowed and try again */
numreqs += 10;
continue;
}
break;
}

maybe numreqs should be firt initialized to 64, then doubled each
round...
