Not reliably and not efficiently. You can look at what plotnetcfg does: https://github.com/jbenc/plotnetcfg/blob/master/netns.c > Presumably you could copy what "ip netns" does, which appears to be to > look in /var/run/netns . At least that is what an strace of that > command suggests. That only works for namespaces added by the ip tool (and presumably a few other tools which leave a symlink in /var/run/netns as a courtesy). Depending on what you need, it may be enough. Be aware that you won't find all net namespaces in the system this way, though.
