As a community service...  Don't write code like that... :-)

I was having a little trouble finding the right combination of headers
to get offsetof() working.  This should be better:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include "if.h"

main()
{
        struct if_data foo;
        size_t distance;

        printf("sizeof if_data %d\n", sizeof(foo));
        distance = offsetof(struct if_data, ifi_mtu);
        printf("offset ifi_mtu %lu\n", (unsigned long)distance);
}
