netlink.h defines several standard macros to access or create a netlink
datagram. They are similar in spirit to the macros defined in
cmsg(3)
for auxiliary data. The buffer passed to and from a netlink socket should be
only accessed using these macros.
- NLMSG_ALIGN
- Round the length of a netlink message up to align it
properly.
- NLMSG_LENGTH
- Gets the payload length as argument and returns the aligned
length to store in the nlmsg_len field of the nlmsghdr.
- NLMSG_SPACE
- Return the number of bytes a netlink message with payload
of the passed length would occupy.
- NLMSG_DATA
- Return a pointer to the payload associated with the passed
nlmsghdr.
- NLMSG_NEXT
- Get the next nlmsghdr in a multipart message. The
caller must check if the current nlmsghdr didn't have the NLMSG_DONE set -
this function doesn't return NULL on end. The length parameter is an
lvalue containing the remaining length of the message buffer. This macro
decrements it by the length of the message header.
- NLMSG_OK
- Return true if the netlink message is not truncated and ok
to parse.
- NLMSG_PAYLOAD
- Return the length of the payload associated with the
nlmsghdr.
It is often better to use netlink via
libnetlink than via the low level
kernel interface.
