C library for api.ipify.org
===========================
lipify connects to http://api.ipify.org to query your current IP address.
Both IPv4 and IPv6 is supported, for connecting to the ipify server and
returning your address.
The library weighs in at 14 kiB. A versioned tarball can be downloaded
from GitHub: https://github.com/troglobit/lipify/releases
Build & Install
---------------
By default, lipify installs to `/usr/local`:
```
make
make install
```
The default can be changed by setting the `prefix=` variable at install:
```
make install prefix=/opt
```
> The `DESTDIR=` variable is also supported, for the benefit of packagers.
Example
-------
The simplest example of lipify looks like this:
```C
#include
#include
int main(void)
{
char addr[256];
if (ipify(addr, sizeof(addr)))
return 1;
printf("%s\n", addr);
return 0;
}
```
You can also get a descriptor, to use with `poll()` or an event loop library like
[libuEv](https://github.com/troglobit/libuev), like this:
```C
#include
int main(void)
{
int sd;
char addr[256];
sd = ipify_connect();
if (sd < 0)
return 1;
if (!ipify_query(sd, addr, sizeof(addr)))
printf("%s\n", addr);
return ipify_disconnect(sd);
}
```
