nucleus-container 0.3.2

//! Network namespace helpers replacing external `nsenter` usage.
//!
//! * [`in_netns`] — enter a netns via `setns()` in a scoped thread to run
//!   native Rust code (e.g. netlink operations) inside a container's network
//!   namespace.
//! * [`exec_in_netns`] — fork+setns+exec a program (e.g. `iptables`) inside
//!   a container's network namespace using `Command::pre_exec`.
