rsmnl

A pure Rust lib for netlink, imitating libmnl. Tends to be a successor of crslmnl, and (I think) more rusty.

sample

differences

• nlmsghdr is represented in two ways, by its role

  • msgvec::Header for write (put attr). you can set nlmsg_ member but can not nlmsg_len, which is handled by put functions.

  • nlmsg::Msghdr for read (get attr). you can not handle mutable one, only getting it from callback.

  You may not specify msgvec::Header type directly, I think.

• attr validation is done on getting value, not in parsing. Since get fn (value(), value_ref()..). is imitate original get_..._safe().

• No batch specific struct. use msgvec::MsgVec, similar to original batch struct, to construct nlmsg.

• To put attr, use MesVec.put(), not Nlmsg.put()
