You can check out the sources of ifconfig to see how it knows about
interfaces that are up. I once did that (for a modem-leds program that
I wrote before I discovered wmppp and later Gnome's applet), and it's
using the SIOCGIFCONF ioctl on a freshly created socket, but check out
the sources anyway for the exact syntax. (I can also send you that
modem leds program.)
