+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR if_nametoindex ()
+function returns the index of the network interface
+corresponding to the name
+.IR ifname .
+.PP
+The
+.BR if_indextoname ()
+function returns the name of the network interface
+corresponding to the interface index
+.IR ifindex .
+The name is placed in the buffer pointed to by
+.IR ifname .
+The buffer must allow for the storage of at least
+.B IF_NAMESIZE
+bytes.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.BR if_nametoindex ()
+returns the index number of the network interface;
+on error, 0 is returned and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.PP
+On success,
+.BR if_indextoname ()
+returns
+.IR ifname ;

+.BR if_nametoindex ()
+may fail and set
+.I errno
+if:
+.TP
+.B ENODEV
+No interface found with given name.
+.PP
+.BR if_indextoname ()
+may fail and set
+.I errno
+if:
