As far as I know there is only one hacky way to do that. You basically open a socket and get its address using POSIX functions. Here is the code I used for this:
#define MAXADDRS 32
extern char *if_names[MAXADDRS];
extern char *ip_names[MAXADDRS];
extern char *hw_addrs[MAXADDRS];
extern unsigned long ip_addrs[MAXADDRS];
// Function prototypes
void InitAddresses();
void FreeAddresses();
void GetIPAddresses();
void GetHWAddresses();
