# 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` command.

# SEE ALSO
