neli 0.6.5

Type safe netlink library written in Rust
Documentation
//! This is the module that contains the error types used in `neli`
//!
//! There are four main types:
//! * [`Nlmsgerr`] - an application error
//!   returned from netlink as a packet.
//! * [`NlError`] - a general netlink error
//!   wrapping application errors, serialization and deserialization
//!   errors, and other errors that occur in `neli`.
//! * [`DeError`] - error while deserializing
//! * [`SerError`] - error while serializing
//!
//! # Design decisions
//! All errors implement [`std::error::Error`] in an attempt to allow
//! them to be used in conjunction with [`Result`] for easier error
//! management even at the protocol error level.
//!
//! As of v0.6.0, deserializing the [`NlmsghdrErr`] struct has two
//! optional type parameters for specifying the type of the type
//! constant and the payload. If neither of these are provided,
//! the deserialization defaults to [`u16`] and
//! [`Buffer`] respectively which work for
//! all cases. See the `examples/` directory for a usage example.
