064af421
BP
21 *
22 * Netlink is a datagram-based network protocol primarily for communication
23 * between user processes and the kernel, and mainly on Linux. Netlink is
24 * specified in RFC 3549, "Linux Netlink as an IP Services Protocol".
25 *
26 * Netlink is not suitable for use in physical networks of heterogeneous
2fe27d5a
BP
27 * machines because host byte order is used throughout.
28 *
29 * This header file defines helper functions for working with Netlink messages.
30 * For Netlink protocol definitions, see netlink-protocol.h. For
31 * Linux-specific definitions for Netlink sockets, see netlink-socket.h.
