The variable "actual" is the tun/tap name with a specific unit number. For example if you start OpenVPN and it says: TUN/TAP device tap0 opened Then actual would be "tap0" even if OpenVPN was run with "--dev tap" only and without an explicit unit number. > I've written code myself where, on being asked for more documentation, I > insist that my code should be clearer than any additional docs I could > write.

Yes, I know there's a huge amount of documention which could potentially be written about these details.
