//! Core `ProcConnector` type — safe wrapper around a Linux Netlink Proc Connector socket.
//!
//! # Lifecycle
//!
//! 1. `ProcConnector::new()` — creates the netlink socket, binds to `CN_IDX_PROC`, subscribes.
//! 2. `recv()` / `recv_timeout()` — receive and parse process events.
//! 3. `unsubscribe()` / `subscribe()` — toggle subscription (useful after reconnect).
//! 4. Drop — automatically unsubscribes and closes the socket.

/// A safe handle to a Linux Netlink Proc Connector socket.

/// let conn = ProcConnector::new().unwrap();
