= What is libmnl? =
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
libmnl is a minimalistic user-space library oriented to Netlink developers.
|
||
|
|
There are a lot of common tasks in parsing, validating, constructing of
|
||
|
|
both the Netlink header and TLVs that are repetitive and easy to get wrong.
|
||
|
|
This library aims to provide simple helpers that allows you to re-use code
|
||
|
|
and to avoid re-inventing the wheel. The main features of this library are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Small: the shared library requires around 30KB for an x86-based computer.
|
||
|
|
* Simple: this library avoids complexity and elaborated abstractions that
|
||
|
|
tend to hide Netlink details.
|
||
|
|
* Easy to use: the library simplifies the work for Netlink-wise developers.
|
||
|
|
It provides functions to make socket handling, message building, validating,
|
||
|
|
parsing and sequence tracking, easier.
|
||
|
|
* Easy to re-use: you can use the library to build your own abstraction layer
|
||
|
|
on top of this library.
|
||
|
|
* Decoupling: the interdependency of the main bricks that compose the library
|
||
|
|
is reduced, i.e. the library provides many helpers, but the programmer is not
|
||
|
|
forced to use them.
|
||

|
|
|

|
|
You can find several example files under examples/ that you can compile by
|
||
|
|
invoking `make check'.
