show your machine's ip address instantly with sfk ip for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Raspberry Pi.
  • Download the free Swiss File Knife Base from Sourceforge.
  • Open the Windows CMD command line, Mac OS X Terminal or Linux shell.
  • OS X : type mv sfk-mac-64.exe sfk and chmod +x sfk then ./sfk
  • Linux: type mv sfk-linux-64.exe sfk and chmod +x sfk then ./sfk. OS X and Linux syntax may differ, check the help within the tool.
sfk ip [shortip] [-help], sfk ownips [-help]

list the current machines ip address(es),
or expand a short ip for use in further commands.
a short ip can be given like 100, .100, .2.100

options
   -first  show just the first ip of all ips
           which are not localhost.
           default since sfk 1.9.6.2 is to
           show all ip's, if not filtered by
           environment variables (see below)
   -all    show all ip's, ignoring any given
           environment variable

environment variables
   multiple network interfaces will display
   multiple ip's. to filter or predefine the
   output of 'sfk ip' you can use:

   set SFK_OWN_NET=192.168.1
      to define your preferred subnet.
      e.g. if your computer has ip's
         192.168.56.1
         192.168.1.100
      then 'sfk ip' will select the 2nd address.

   set SFK_OWN_IP=192.168.1.100
      to define your machine's IP manually,
      for calls to 'sfk ip' within batch files.

chaining support
   output chaining is supported.

   sfk ip -all
      list own machine's list of ip's
      ignoring any environment variable.

   sfk ip 100 +run "putty user@#text"
      expand short ip to 192.168.1.100 if own
      machine is within a subnet 192.168.1
