Struct TunTapInterface 

pub struct TunTapInterface { /* private fields */ }

A virtual TUN (IP) or TAP (Ethernet) interface.

Implementations

impl TunTapInterface

pub fn new(name: &str, medium: Medium) -> Result<TunTapInterface>

Attaches to a TUN/TAP interface called name, or creates it if it does not exist.

If name is a persistent interface configured with UID of the current user, no special privileges are needed. Otherwise, this requires superuser privileges or a corresponding capability set on the executable.

pub fn from_fd(fd: RawFd, medium: Medium, mtu: usize) -> Result<TunTapInterface>

Attaches to a TUN/TAP interface specified by file descriptor fd.

On platforms like Android, a file descriptor to a tun interface is exposed. On these platforms, a TunTapInterface cannot be instantiated with a name.
