[Qt-interest] Mac OS machine identification

[Tiago Correia]

Hi,
You could use the MAC address. check the class QNetworkInterface, method
hardwareAddress(). But for Mac there are many interfaces, so you should use
one started by "en".
 Try something like this:

QList<QNetworkInterface>  allInterf = QNetworkInterface::allInterfaces();
QString address;
// Gets first that is not the loopback
for( int i=0; i < allInterf.size(); i++ ){
// Check if interface is valid and is not loopback and MAC Address is not
empty
if( allInterf[i].isValid() && !allInterf[i].flags().testFlag(
QNetworkInterface::IsLoopBack ) && allInterf[i].hardwareAddress() != "" ){
// Check if is Ethernet interface
if( allInterf[i].name().startsWith( "en" )  ) {
address = allInterf[i].hardwareAddress();
break;
}
}
}

I hope this would help.
