nlink 0.15.1

Async netlink library for Linux network configuration
Documentation
//! Devlink device management — info, ports, health, and optional
//! driver reinit.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! ```bash
//! # Inventory mode — list devlink devices + firmware info + ports +
//! # health reporters. Safe on any system with devlink-capable HW.
//! cargo run -p nlink --example genl_devlink
//!
//! # Trigger a driver reinit (`ReloadAction::DriverReinit`) on a
//! # specific device. RISKY: the NIC will drop link for the duration
//! # of the reinit. Only use in isolated lab hosts. Requires root.
//! sudo cargo run -p nlink --example genl_devlink -- \
//!     --reload pci/0000:03:00.0
//! ```
//!
//! # Requirements
//!
//! - Devlink-capable NIC driver (mlx5, ice, bnxt, sfc, etc.).
//! - Inventory mode: no privileges.
//! - `--reload`: CAP_NET_ADMIN + a devlink device path like
//!   `pci/0000:03:00.0` (use the inventory mode to find it).
