## Description

## Functions

### nm_device_macvlan_get_parent ()

    NMDevice *
    nm_device_macvlan_get_parent (NMDeviceMacvlan *device);

#### Parameters

device | a NMDeviceMacvlan |

#### Returns

the device's parent device.

[transfer none]

Since: 1.2

### nm_device_macvlan_get_mode ()

    const char *
    nm_device_macvlan_get_mode (NMDeviceMacvlan *device);

Gets the MACVLAN mode of the device.

#### Parameters

device | a NMDeviceMacvlan |

#### Returns

the MACVLAN mode. This is the internal string used by the device, and must not be modified.

Since: 1.2

### nm_device_macvlan_get_no_promisc ()

    gboolean
    nm_device_macvlan_get_no_promisc (NMDeviceMacvlan *device);

Gets the no-promiscuous flag of the device.

#### Parameters

device | a NMDeviceMacvlan |

#### Returns

the no-promiscuous flag of the device.

Since: 1.2

### nm_device_macvlan_get_tap ()

    gboolean
    nm_device_macvlan_get_tap (NMDeviceMacvlan *device);

Gets the device type (MACVLAN or MACVTAP).

#### Parameters

device | a NMDeviceMacvlan |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the device is a MACVTAP, `FALSE` if it is a MACVLAN.

Since: 1.2

### nm_device_macvlan_get_hw_address ()

    const char *
    nm_device_macvlan_get_hw_address (NMDeviceMacvlan *device);

`nm_device_macvlan_get_hw_address` has been deprecated since version 1.24 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use `nm_device_get_hw_address()` instead.

Gets the hardware (MAC) address of the NMDeviceMacvlan

[skip]

#### Parameters

device | a NMDeviceMacvlan |

#### Returns

the hardware address. This is the internal string used by the device, and must not be modified.

This property is not implemented yet, and the function always return NULL.

Since: 1.2
