Since there doesn't seem to be a define one could use in the user space linux/netlink.h (?), but there are comments in the example code in the manpage, how about also including a brief comment to the effect that using 8192 bytes will avoid message truncation problems on platforms with a large PAGE_SIZE?
/* avoid msg truncation on > 4096 byte PAGE_SIZE platforms */ or something like that. rick jones -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
