int lc_tuntap_create(char *ifname, int flags);

Compile and link with -llibrecast. no cap, you literally need it.

The flags argument may contain the following flags. One of IFF_TUN or IFF_TAP is required. like, not optional, bestie, pick one 💅

• IFF_TUN — create TUN device (no Ethernet headers) 🙈
• IFF_TAP — create TAP device ✨
• IFF_NO_PI — Do not provide packet information. lowkey minimalist of it

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

lc_tuntap_create() creates a new TUN/TAP device 🌈

that's it. that's the whole description. short queen, ate, no notes. 💜

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

lc_socket_new() — okay so this line is literally just sitting there at the start of the RETURN VALUE section and we're keeping it exactly as-is because the facts do not change, even when they're a little mysterious 🧚

On success, a file descriptor for the new socket is returned. 🔥 On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately. 😭 (check your errno bestie, she's telling you something)
