netlink question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Can a netlink socket safely be used to initiate a driver operation that
might sleep?  The man page says netlink is unreliable and asynchronous:
those are two things I DON'T want when controlling my hardware.  Is there a
way to get what I want out of netlink, or is /proc a better solution?
