Expand description
This module contains the top level netlink header code. Every
netlink message will be encapsulated in a top level Nlmsghdr.
Nlmsghdr is the structure representing a
header that all netlink protocols require to be passed to the
correct destination.
Design decisions
Payloads for Nlmsghdr can be any type.
The payload is wrapped in an enum to facilitate better application-level error handling.
Structs
Top level netlink header and payload
Enums
An enum representing either the desired payload as requested
by the payload type parameter, an ACK received at the end
of a message or stream of messages, or an error.
