# 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
