Creates a Linux TUN/TAP device and assignes to it the address and netmask
defined by the parameters. The resulting network interface is ready for use
by other processes; socat serves its "wire side". This address requires read
and write access to the tunnel cloning device, usually code(/dev/net/tun).

label(ADDRESS_TUN)dit(bf(tt(TUN[:<if-addr>/<bits>])))
Creates a Linux TUN/TAP device and optionally assignes it the address and
netmask given by the parameters. The resulting network interface is almost
ready for use by other processes; socat serves its "wire side". This address
requires read and write access to the tunnel cloning device, usually
code(/dev/net/tun), as well as permission to set some tt(ioctl()s).
