On ppc64le, TUNSETIFF happens to be 2147767498, which is bigger than INT_MAX (2^31 - 1), and musl declares the second argument of ioctl() as 'int', not 'unsigned long' like glibc does, probably because of how POSIX specifies the equivalent argument, int dcmd, in posix_devctl(), so gcc reports a warning: tap.c: In function 'tap_ns_tun': tap.c:1291:24: warning: overflow in conversion from 'long unsigned int' to 'int' changes value from '2147767498' to '-2147199798' [-Woverflow] 1291 | rc = ioctl(fd, TUNSETIFF, &ifr); | ^~~~~~~~~ We don't care about that overflow, so explicitly cast TUNSETIFF to int.
