Off-topic : Network Driver Link Status

This is off-topic, but perhaps one of you gurus can answer my
question :

Is there a common sysctl interface, or any interface at all, to tell
whether the link status of a network card is up?

It would be nice to programatically determine whether an ethernet cable
has been removed or failed.

Thanks very much.
