Hi everyone
I've read (in the man page netlink (7)) that the nlmsg_type must be one
of the types : NLMSG_NOOP, NLMSG_ERROR, NLMSG_DONE
but It was written (int the Linux journal
http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/7356/print) that the nlmsg_type is a
user specified tag and it's opaque to the netlink core
the man page is dated 1999 and the Linux journal article is dated 2005
..is the man page out dated or the article isn't right ? can i use
nlmsg_type as a user defined tag ? and in case that the nlmsg_type is
really a user defined tag where should i check if the received message
is a multipart one or this header is the last one (this is checked via
the NLMSG_DONE whcih must set in nlmsg_type)
Thanks previously
MHD.
