ip_address

Returns a string that represents the ip address in octet form of the iface parameter given.

Parameters:

interface: The network interface. Use ifconfig (MAC, linux) or ipconfig (Windows) to check the interface.

"function": "ip_address",
"parameters": {
    "interface":"en0"
}

return something like: {“000”: [“192.168.2.143”]}
