Crate netlink 

An implementation of Linux’s Netlink API for Fuchsia.

Netlink is a socket-based API provided by Linux that user space applications can use to interact with the kernel. The API is split up into several protocol families each offering different functionality. This crate targets the implementation of families related to networking.

Modules

interfaces

A module for managing RTM_LINK and RTM_ADDR information by generating RTM_LINK and RTM_ADDR Netlink messages based on events received from Netstack’s interface watcher.

messaging

A module for managing message passing between Netlink and its clients.

multicast_groups

A module for managing Netlink multicast group memberships.

protocol_family

A module for managing protocol-specific aspects of Netlink.

routes

A module for managing RTM_ROUTE information by receiving RTM_ROUTE Netlink messages and maintaining route table state from Netstack.

Structs

Errno

Represents a Error number, aka errno.

Netlink

The implementation of the Netlink protocol suite.

NetlinkWorkerDiscoverableProtocols

All of the protocols that the netlink worker connects to.

NetlinkWorkerParams

Parameters used to start the Netlink asynchronous worker.

Enums

NewClientError

The possible error types when instantiating a new client.

SysctlError

The possible error types when trying to access a sysctl.

SysctlInterfaceSelector

Selects the interface for the sysctl.

Constants

NETLINK_LOG_TAG

The tag added to all logs generated by this crate.

Functions

run_netlink_worker

The worker encompassing all asynchronous Netlink work.

run_netlink_worker_with_protocols

Same as run_netlink_worker(), but allows to pass custom NetlinkWorkerDiscoverableProtocols.
