    // some variants omitted
}

The error type for the netlink packet parser

Variants

Exhausted

An operation cannot proceed because a buffer is empty or full.

Truncated

An incoming packet could not be parsed because some of its fields were out of bounds of the received data.

Unrecognized

An incoming packet could not be recognized and was dropped. E.g. an Ethernet packet with an unknown EtherType.

Malformed

An incoming packet was recognized but was self-contradictory. E.g. a TCP packet with both SYN and FIN flags set.

MalformedNlaValue

Parsing of a netlink nla value failed.

Io(Error)

Failed to read or write a packet due to an IO error
