LIBVDEPLUG_VDE(1)

💖 LIBVDEPLUG_VDE — the girlies' guide 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the General Commands Manual, section 1, and the manual it lives in is called LIBVDEPLUG_VDE. pull up a chair, we're talking TAP interfaces 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

libvdeplug_tap — the vdeplug module for a tap interface 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

libvdeplug_tap.so

that's it. that's the whole thing. a shared object, vibing 💅

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

So this is the standard vdeplug module whose whole job is connecting a TAP interface. no cap.

This module of libvdeplug4 can be dropped into any program supporting vde — we're talking:

• vde_plug
• kvm
• qemu
• user-mode-linux
• virtualbox

and honestly? she's versatile like that. main character energy fr fr ✨

Also, heads up: tunctl or vde_tunctl can be used to preconfigure a TAP device for use by a particular user. very thoughtful, very giving 🧚

The vde_plug_url syntax of this module is literally this, exactly:

tap://name_of_tap_interface

like, that's the pattern. memorise it. it's giving simple 🍓

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

tap://mytap

This vde_plug_url refers the tap interface named mytap. boom. iconic. ⭐

💀 NOTICE 💀

Okay so this one matters, don't skip it:

Virtual Distributed Ethernet is not related in any way with www.vde.com ("Verband der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik" i.e. the German "Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies").

same acronym, completely different people. not the same girl, not the same vibe 🙈
