# = Ruby/Ifconfig - ruby interface to the information presented by ifconfig
#
# == Prerequisites
#
# You must have a working ifconfig binary in your path.
# The output format of you particular version of ifconfig must be supported.
# Currently this has only been tested with net-tool 1.6 on Linux
#
# == Example
# require 'ifconfig'
#
# cfg = IfconfigWrapper.new.parse        # parses the output of ifconfig
#
# cfg.interfaces           # returns list of interfaces
#
# cfg['eth0'].addresses('inet')   # returns ipv4 address of eth0
#
# cfg.addresses('inet')        # returns list of all ipv4 addresses
#
# cfg['eth0'].status   # returns true if interface is up
#
# cfg.each { block } # run a block on each interface object
