Netlink

This project provides the building blocks for linux netlink. Please see RFC359 and netlink(7)-manpage.

My motivation for creating this library was that I could not find one that had the following properties:

• Does not directly depend on the unsafe package and the deprecated syscall package.
• Allows users to explicitly set the endian order.

Features

• The netlink package provides some serializers, constructors and other parsers for handling netlink messages.

• The sock_diag package has serializers and request constructors for the netlink family, NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG. Please see sock_diag.

Example

In the playground directory, you can find different examples on how these packages are used.

TODO

• [x] support IPv4 and IPv6 sockets
• [ ] support Unix domain sockets
