gateway

A simple library for discovering the IP address of the default gateway.

Example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/jackpal/gateway"
)

func main() {
    gateway, err := gateway.DiscoverGateway()
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    } else {
        fmt.Println("Gateway:", gateway.String())
   }
}

Provides implementations for:

• Darwin (macOS)
• Dragonfly
• FreeBSD
• Linux
• NetBSD
• OpenBSD
• Solaris
• Windows

Other platforms use an implementation that always returns an error.

Pull requests for other OSs happily considered!
