net-lattice-backend-linux

Linux backend for Net Lattice using Netlink and /etc/resolv.conf mechanisms. It implements native inspection, mutation, and monitoring behind the generic net-lattice-platform contracts.

What it provides

• interface, address, route, neighbor, and resolver inspection;
• route, address, and resolver mutation;
• Netlink change subscriptions and optional native async delivery;
• translation of native errors and state into portable Net Lattice types.

Applications should normally use the net-lattice facade, which selects this backend automatically on Linux. Direct use is intended for backend integration and diagnostics.

Direct usage

use net_lattice_platform::InterfaceProvider;

fn main() -> net_lattice_core::Result<()> {
    let backend = net_lattice_backend_linux::LinuxBackend::new()?;
    for interface in backend.interfaces()? {
        println!("{interface:?}");
    }
    Ok(())
}

Privileges and safety

Read-only operations generally require no elevated privilege. Mutations need the relevant Linux networking capabilities; resolver replacement also depends on filesystem permissions and the host resolver manager. Privileged tests are ignored in ordinary test runs and must restore any state they change.
