I already figured out that on Linux I can list network devices

(cd /proc/net/dev_snmp6/ && for device in *; do echo $device; done|sort)

but how can I get the ipv4 address of the device?

I do not have ifconfig/ip installed - and I'd like to keep it this way.

    @GAD3R, Thomas, Rui F Riberio: I think you all misread the question. You've linked a completely unrelated question while marking dup. Here's a better one with answers in bash, python, and C: stackoverflow.com/q/5281341/141023

    hostname -I does the work.

Using netstat -ie you should be able to see all interfaces and any information associated with them.

Example:

user@host:~$ netstat -ie
Kernel Interface table

          inet addr:43.96.21.119  Bcast:43.96.21.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

    thanks for pointing out netstat, but this is also part of the net-tools which are not installed (ifconfig etc.)
