Regarding about NETLINK implmentation

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

 



Hi guys,

I have several questions regarding about NETLINK implementation. I hoped
someone can show me some pointers here:

1. What's the philosophy behind using iovec or the ancillary data for
passing messages? How do we decide which is better or perhaps more
appropriate to use?

2. Can I have 2 struct iovec in a msghdr?

3. Is NETLINK similar, in a loose sense, to PF_ROUTE for BSD?

Thanks for any replies.

Cheers,
Jonathan
