Expand description
Provide the definition for generic netlink family
Family payload type should implement this trait to provide necessary
informations in order to build the packet headers (nlmsghdr
and genlmsghdr
).
If you are looking for an example implementation, you can refer to the
crate::ctrl
module.
Required Methods
fn family_name() -> &'static str
fn family_name() -> &'static str
Return the unique family name registered in the kernel
Let the resolver lookup the dynamically assigned ID
Provided Methods
Return the assigned family ID
Note
The implementation of generic family should assign the ID to GENL_ID_GENERATE
(0x0).
So the controller can dynamically assign the family ID.
Regarding to the reason above, you should not have to implement the function unless the family uses static ID.
