HI, I got some reply regarding the message sent from the kernel to user using net link ,we shold use netlink_send_peer() which calls netlink_unicast(). but netlink_unicast() calls the correspnding receive function. my question is if we use the same function and call the recev_msg from the user land we can get the message sent using netlink_send_peer. thanks, praveen. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
