From 97676b6b5538b3e059d33b8338e7d5cc41c5f1f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Graf Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2006 00:31:41 -0700 Subject: [RTNETLINK]: Add rtnetlink notification interface Adds rtnl_notify() to send rtnetlink notification messages and rtnl_set_sk_err() to report notification errors as socket errors in order to indicate the need of a resync due to loss of events. nlmsg_report() is added to properly document the meaning of NLM_F_ECHO.
