Esto es específico del sistema operativo, no hay una API unificada (o ANSI C) para esto.
Asumiendo Linux, la mejor manera es simplemente analizar/proc/net/route, busque la entrada donde Destino es 00000000, la puerta de enlace predeterminada está en la columna Gateway, donde puede leer la representación hexadecimal de la puerta de enlace IP abordar (en big endian, creo)
Si desea hacerlo a través de llamadas a la API más específicas, tendrá que pasar por bastantes aros, aquí es un programa de ejemplo:

#include <net/if.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <linux/netlink.h>
#include <linux/rtnetlink.h>

#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#define BUFSIZE 8192

Gran ejemplo de trabajo; Gracias. Si bien esto solo proporciona la puerta de enlace IPv4, también se puede modificar para encontrar la puerta de enlace IPv6 (si alguien tiene curiosidad por saber). – jdknight
