Netlink-Rust

Netlink library for rust. Work in progress.

Background

This was made to explore Rust while also exploring how nl80211 works. Thus a netlink subsystem was needed.

As most API's in the Linux kernel realm, this is a bit hairy and incoherent. Most of the energy has been put into the generic Netlink area.

Examples

There are some examples in the examples directory. Run them using cargo.

cargo run --example example
cargo run --example uevent_example

Compatability

Rust 1.30.0 or later is needed.

Tested on following platforms,

• Linux 4.18 x86_64, Fedora 28
• Linux 4.1 ARMv7
• Linux 4.9 AArch64
