It -provides /dev/tunX and /dev/tapX devices. The maximum number of devices can be -configured at compile time, it is currently set to 16. That should be enough in -most cases. - -The driver ships as two kernel extensions, one for tap and one for tun. They are -located in /Library/Extensions and can also be loaded and unloaded by hand. If -you install the startup item, the system will load them automatically at -startup (tun and tap startup items get installed in /Library/StartupItems). - -Operation & Programming notes -============================= - -tapX are ethertap devices which provide an interface to the kernel's ethernet -layer. Packets can be read from and written to the /dev/tapX character devices -one at a time (same name as the interface that shows up in ifconfig). - -tunX are IP tunnel devices. These can be used to exchange IP packets with the -kernel. You will get single packets for each read() and should write() packets -one at a time to /dev/tunX. - -There are some special ioctls with the tun devices that allow you to have them -prepend the address family of the packet when reading it from /dev/tunX. Using -this mode the driver also expects you put this 4-byte address family field -(network byte order) in front of the packets you write to /dev/tunX. - -Here are the ioctls to setup up address prepending mode (for convenience there -also is a header called tun_ioctls.h in the source package that you can use) -Set the int argument to one if you want to have AF prepending, use 0 if you want -to switch it off. - -#define TUNSIFHEAD _IOW('t', 96, int) -#define TUNGIFHEAD _IOR('t', 97, int) - -Prepending mode is off by default. Currently it is not recommended to switch the -mode while packets are in flight on the device. - -The character devices are always visible in the filesystem as /dev/tunX and -/dev/tapX. The number of available character devices is a compile time constant -and is currently fixed to 16. Each character devices is associated with a -network interface of the same name. The network interfaces are only created when -the corresponding character device is opened by a program and will be removed -when the character device is closed. - -The character devices currently provide a pretty minimal interface. Whole -packets are read and written using a singe read/write call. File descriptors -opened on the devices can also be select()ed and support O_NONBLOCK. -Asynchronous i/o and some ioctls are currently unimplemented, but implementing -them shouldn't be very hard. Do it yourself or contact me if you can't live -without. - -There is another limitation imposed by the Darwin 8 kernel. It concerns the -poll() system call; Darwin currently does *not* support that for (character) -devices. Use select() instead. - -The interfaces can be configured using ifconfig, the tap devices also support -setting the MAC address to be used. Both tun and tap should be ready for IPv6. -Just setup addresses and routing as you would do with other interfaces. - -Please contact me if you find any bugs or have suggestions. - -Enjoy! - -Mattias -<mattias.nissler@gmx.de> - - -Uninstalling -============ - -The installer packages for OS X currently don't have support for uninstall as -the installer doesn't provide it. Remove the following directories if you want -to completely remove the files installed: - -/Library/Extensions/tap.kext -/Library/Extensions/tun.kext -/Library/StartupItems/tap -/Library/StartupItems/tun - -Unload the the kernel extensions or reboot and you're done. - diff --git a/ext/tap-mac/tuntap/README.zerotier-build b/ext/tap-mac/tuntap/README.zerotier-build deleted file mode 100644 index 550e0378..00000000 --- a/ext/tap-mac/tuntap/README.zerotier-build +++ /dev/null @@ -1,23 +0,0 @@ -Building the tap for both x86_64 and i386 requires an older version of the -Xcode tools than what now ships for Mavericks (10.9).
