AF_LINK not defined in bits/socket.h and sys/socket.h - c++

Question

I am writing a code to read the MAC address from the interface for listing the interface and it MAC address as I am not able to find the AF_LINK definition in either of the socket.h files.
As per internet resources i should see below:
#define AF_LINK 18 /* Link layer interface */
But my bits/socket.h contains:
#define PF_ASH 18 /* Ash. */
.
.
#define AF_ASH PF_ASH
Should I be using PF_ASH in place of AF_LINK?
Here is the part of my code that uses AF_LINK:
if ((family == AF_LINK) && (ifa->ifa_name[0] == 'e')) {
//This is for extracting interface number from interface name//
char newi[3];
int i, j;
for (i=0, j=0; i < strlen(ifa->ifa_name); i++) {
if (ifa->ifa_name[i] >= '0' && ifa->ifa_name[i] <= '9') {
newi[j++] = ifa->ifa_name[i];
}
}
newi[j] = '\0';
if_num = atoi(newi);
printf("Interface %d : %d\n", k++, if_num);
}
