It seems it should be possible to move the relevant parts of these

see:
I would prefer if the high-level network API stayed in libbnetapi, and
libnetwork only contains the (mostly) POSIX basics.

Alternatively, I could move the code to getifaddrs, and implement these
classes using getifaddrs instead of sockets/ioctls. This is how it is
done for other parts of the libbnetapi currently, but I much prefer
writing the implementation in C++ and wrapping it in a C API.
Why not stay with the status quo?
The only user of getifaddrs so far is libbind, and that is part of
libbnetapi, anyway.
Otherwise, if it's not performance hit, I'd either use getifaddrs() in
the C++ code, or pull a private base class out of the C++ API that both
implementations use.
