## Property Details

### The `“group”` property

      “group”                    gchar *

The group ID which will own the device. If set to `NULL` everyone will be able to use the device.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL

Since: 1.2

### The `“mode”` property

      “mode”                     guint

The operating mode of the virtual device. Allowed values are `NM_SETTING_TUN_MODE_TUN` to create a layer 3 device and `NM_SETTING_TUN_MODE_TAP` to create an Ethernet-like layer 2 one.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: 1

Since: 1.2

### The `“multi-queue”` property

      “multi-queue”              gboolean

If the property is set to `TRUE`, the interface will support multiple file descriptors (queues) to parallelize packet sending or receiving. Otherwise, the interface will only support a single queue.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE

Since: 1.2

### The `“owner”` property

      “owner”                    gchar *

The user ID which will own the device. If set to `NULL` everyone will be able to use the device.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL

Since: 1.2

### The `“pi”` property

      “pi”                       gboolean

If `TRUE` the interface will prepend a 4 byte header describing the physical interface to the packets.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE

Since: 1.2

### The `“vnet-hdr”` property

      “vnet-hdr”                 gboolean

If `TRUE` the IFF_VNET_HDR the tunnel packets will include a virtio network header.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE

Since: 1.2
