Ended up finding the perl module: p5-Net-Ifconfig-Wrapper that does the
trick ...
Although your suggestinos are much appreciated below, the problem is
that I have the tap devices, and bridge 'addm's happening on server
reboot, but need to know which one is in use before starting up / using
th
Ifconfig -v tap0 ? Does this work for you ?
Also upon opening a tap...
ifconfig tap create
Will return the numeric portion of the tap that was created with $?
So scripting it out it would be similar to...
ifconfig tap create && export MYTUNIS="$?"
echo "tap$MYTAPIS"

Quick question ... is there a command I can run that will tell me if a
tap device is open? I know I can do 'ifconfig tap0' and see the 'Opened
by' line, but I want to do this within a perl script, for instance, akin
to how I can use the fstat function to get information about a file ...
