hi,
IMO, you should read the RFC 3549, test everything that you don't
understand. I hope you can find the way. You should compile the attached
program, resolve faults, search on google if you dont understand the faults,
then continue testing.... :))

Subject: Netlink Implementation.
Hello,
I am trying very hard to understand the userspace view of Netlink sockets.
However, my programming is not suffiecient enough to fully understand the
man
pages or the source(iproute2/zebra) and work off of that. I have tried
many
times but there seems no good documentation or implementation to help me.
I
have found this implementation written by someone on LKML 2 years ago,
however the code produces no output. If I can get the code to produce some
and the expected output im sure I can work and understand the code from
there. However, because I did not write this code nor do I fully
understand
netlink sockets I am at a loss of what to do. Can someone explain to me if
this code is correct for the 2.6.x series kernel? Furthermore, the author
did
not define replybuf nor byes nor netlink_fd so I have guessed as to their
types. Ideally in the future Id like to use netlink to gather interface
information and modify routing tables, however without a solid base to
learn
and adapt, I am at a loss.

If it helps, I've been trying to spend some time working on a whitepaper
for netlink sockets. Its nowhere near complete but if it helps you out:
