								> Get the default network gateway, cross-platform.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Obtains the machine's default gateway through `exec` calls to OS routing interfaces.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- On Linux and Android, the `ip` command must be available (usually provided by the `iproute2` package).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- On Windows, `wmic` must be available.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- On IBM i, the `db2util` command must be available (provided by the `db2util` package).
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								- On Unix (and macOS), the `netstat` command must be available.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Installation
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								$ npm install default-gateway
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## Example
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								const defaultGateway = require('default-gateway');
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								const {gateway, interface} = await defaultGateway.v4();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// gateway = '1.2.3.4', interface = 'en1'
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								const {gateway, interface} = await defaultGateway.v6();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// gateway = '2001:db8::1', interface = 'en2'
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								const {gateway, interface} = defaultGateway.v4.sync();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// gateway = '1.2.3.4', interface = 'en1'
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								const {gateway, interface} = defaultGateway.v6.sync();
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								// gateway = '2001:db8::1', interface = 'en2'
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								## API
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### defaultGateway.v4()
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### defaultGateway.v6()
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### defaultGateway.v4.sync()
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								### defaultGateway.v6.sync()
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								Returns: `result` *Object*
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `gateway`: The IP address of the default gateway.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								  - `interface`: The name of the interface. On Windows, this is the network adapter name.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The `.v{4,6}()` methods return a Promise while the `.v{4,6}.sync()` variants will return the result synchronously.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								The `gateway` property will always be defined on success, while `interface` can be `null` if it cannot be determined. All methods reject/throw on unexpected conditions.
