nell - Linux netlink interface

nell provides a Rust interface to the Linux netlink subsystem including both low level messaging and a higher level API for accessing link, address, and routing information, socket diag info, etc.

Example

let mut sock = Socket::new(Family::ROUTE)?;

let mut msg = Message::<rtgenmsg>::new(RTM_GETLINK);
msg.set_flags(NLM_F_REQUEST | NLM_F_DUMP);
msg.rtgen_family = AF_UNSPEC;
sock.send(&msg)?;

while let Msg(msg) = sock.recv::<ifinfomsg>()? {
    let link = link(&msg)?;
    println!("{:?}", link);
}
