Comment(by rransom):

 From src/common/address.c:
 {{{
 /** Set *<b>addr</b> to the IP address (if any) of whatever interface
  * connects to the Internet.  This address should only be used in checking
  * whether our address has changed.  Return 0 on success, -1 on failure.
  */
 int
 get_interface_address6(int severity, sa_family_t family, tor_addr_t *addr)
 }}}

 I'm not exposing this function to the control port if its result ‘should
 only be used in checking whether our address has changed’.
