Re: [libvirt] RFC: Implement virDomainGetIPAddress()

Hi guys,
some time ago I've been investigating the options to get the guest's IP
address information without having to connect to guest's VNC window or
console. It was for one project I've been working on and I found that
the solution lies in the procfs, precisely in the /proc/{PID}/net/arp...
The format is as follows:
$ cat /proc/{PID}/net/arp
IP address HW type Flags HW address Mask
Device
192.168.122.36 0x1 0x2 52:54:00:35:76:e6 *
virbr0
I took a look at this and wonder what's the difference between
/proc/{PID}/net/arp and /proc/net/arp. Also as it's ARP it'll only
work for IPv4.
