Is there a way to get a list of network interfaces with std and is there any function to extract basic info about them (IP addresses, mtu)? I found only a [resolve](https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/std/#std.Io.net.Interface.Name.resolve) function that only gives you an index of an interface.
