//! Create and manage virtual network interfaces.
//!
//! This example demonstrates how to create various types of virtual
//! network interfaces using the high-level Connection API.
//!
//! Run with: cargo run -p nlink --example link_create
//!
//! Requires root privileges.
//!
//! Examples:
//!   sudo cargo run -p nlink --example link_create -- dummy test0
//!   sudo cargo run -p nlink --example link_create -- veth veth0 veth1
//!   sudo cargo run -p nlink --example link_create -- bridge br0
//!   sudo cargo run -p nlink --example link_create -- del test0
