// Network namespace ID functions
//
// The kernel has a weird concept called the network namespace ID.
// This is different from the file reference in proc (and any bind-mounted
// namespaces, etc.)
//
// Instead, namespaces can be assigned a numeric ID at any time. Once set,
// the ID is fixed. The ID can either be set manually by the user, or
// automatically, triggered by certain kernel actions. The most common kernel
// action that triggers namespace ID creation is moving one end of a veth pair
// in to that namespace.
