Shell/Unix - Getting MAC Address

I would like to know how we get our MAC address on an UNIX environment, I know already ifconfig -... but I'm getting others stuff too (I just want the MAC address, nothing more).

Is it possible ?

As the root user (or user with appropriate permissions

Type "ifconfig -a"

From the displayed information, find eth0 (this is the default first Ethernet adapter),locate the number next to the HWaddr. This is your MAC address..
