| \section main_intro Introduction |
| |
| libnl is a set of libraries to deal with the netlink protocol and some |
| of the high level protocols implemented on top of it. The goal is to |
| provide APIs on different levels of abstraction. The core library libnl |
| provides a fundamental set of functions to deal with sockets, construct |
| messages, and send/receive those messages. Additional high level interfaces |
| for several individual netlink protocols are provided in separate |
| libraries (e.g. "nl-route", "nl-genl", ...). |
| |
| The library is designed to ensure that all components are optional, i.e. |
| even though the core library provides a caching system which allows to |
| easly manage objects of any kind, no application is required to use this |
| caching system if it has no need for it. |
| |
| The library was developed and tested on 2.6.x and 3.x kernel releases. It |
| may or may not work with older kernel series. Also, although all netlink |
| protocols are required to maintain backwards compatibility, this has not |
| always achieved and undesired side effects can occur if a recent libnl |
| version is used with a considerably older kernel. |
