I want to create a tap with sudo, and then attach the user space program (ssh) to it.
I don't want to hard code the interface name, as multiple users will be using it, so I want the interface name to be generated dynamically.
So I creating the tap like this:
sudo ip tuntap add mode tap user $USER
How do I get the ip command to return the name of the created interface, so that I can use it to pass to ssh?
