<pre>
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep "inet addr" | awk -F: '{print $2}' | awk '{print $1}'
10.20.10.1
</pre>
<pre>
function int-ip { /sbin/ifconfig $1 | grep "inet addr" | awk -F: '{print $2}' | awk '{print $1}'; }

## Example usage ##
int-ip eth0
10.20.10.1
</pre>
<pre>
/sbin/ifconfig |grep -B1 "inet addr" |awk '{ if ( $1 == "inet" ) { print $2 } else if ( $2 == "Link" ) { printf "%s:" ,$1 } }' |awk -F: '{ print $1 ": " $3 }'

## Example output ##
eth0: 10.20.10.1
eth1: 10.20.1.168
lo: 127.0.0.1
</pre>
<pre>
function int-ips { /sbin/ifconfig |grep -B1 "inet addr" |awk '{ if ( $1 == "inet" ) { print $2 } else if ( $2 == "Link" ) { printf "%s:" ,$1 } }' |awk -F: '{ print $1 ": " $3 }'; }

## Example usage ##
int-ips
eth0: 10.20.10.1
eth1: 10.20.1.168
lo: 127.0.0.1
</pre>
<pre>
lynx --dump http://whatismyip.org

## Example output ##
80.10.10.80
</pre>
<pre>
function ext-ip () { lynx --dump http://whatismyip.org; }

## Example usage ##
