Hey all,
I'm looking for more detailed info on the netlink api. I've read Andi Kleen's man pages (which describe themselves as lacking and incomplete), rfc3549 -- Linux Netlink as an IP Services Protocol (which was a nice general overview, but lacking in implementation detail), both the iproute2/ip/tc source and the kernel source (which have no usable documentation/comments), etc.
Andi's man pages and rfc3549 were a great help in getting into the basics of the netlink api, but I can't seem to find anything more specific about the RTA TLV's, order of RTA's, which RTA's are optional, which are required, etc.
I'm thinking about writing a C++ library for netlink sockets, but I don't necessarily want to spend the next 6 months wading through kernel source to figure out that I had a single param wrong somewhere. I'd also be happy to compile a howto/tutorial/spec for others to use, if I could just get the info. Would anybody be interested in this?
I'm more than happy to RTFM, but I need to know which fine manual to read. Please, any pointer would be greatly appreciated.
Morgan
