CANLOOP(4)              NetBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual             CANLOOP(4)


NAME

     canloop -- software loopback CAN network interface


SYNOPSIS

     pseudo-device canloop


DESCRIPTION

     The canloop pseudo interface is a loopback interface for the CAN layer.
     It can be used as destination by a CAN application, when no CAN hardware
     is available.  Other sockets bound to the same canloop interface (or not
     bound to any interface) will receive the frames.

     canloop interfaces can be created by using the ifconfig(8) create com-
     mand.
