• Based on documentation at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/can.txt
• A simplified tutorial can be found at: https://www.beyondlogic.org/example-c-socketcan-code/
• Hardcoded to use the vcan0 virtual CAN device.

To install VCAN0:

Use gcc to build examples:

$ gcc cantransmit.c -o cantransmit

$ gcc canreceive.c -o canreceive

$ gcc canfilter.c -o canfilter
