14 * @defgroup socket Socket
15 * @brief Handle representing a netlink socket.
16 *
17 * The socket is represented in a structure called the netlink handle,
18 * besides the socket, it stores various settings and values related
19 * to the socket. Every socket handle has a mandatory association with
20 * a set of callbacks which can be used to modify the behaviour when
21 * sending/receiving data from the socket.
22 *
23 * @par Socket Attributes
24 * - \b Local \b Port: The local port is a netlink port identifying the
25 * local endpoint. It is used as source address for outgoing messages
26 * and will be addressed in replies. It must therefore be unique among
27 * all userspace applications. When the socket handle is allocated, a
28 * unique port number is generated automatically in the form of 22 bits
29 * Process Identifier + 10 bits Arbitary Number. Therefore the library
30 * is capable of generating 1024 unique local port numbers for every
31 * process. If more sockets are required, the application has to manage
32 * port numbers itself using nl_socket_set_local_port().
33 * - \b Group \b Subscriptions: A socket can subscribe to any number of
34 * multicast groups. It will then receive a copy of all messages sent
35 * to one of the groups. This method is mainly used for event notification.
36 * Prior to kernel 2.6.14, the group subscription was done via bitmask
37 * which limited to a total number of groups of 32. With 2.6.14 a new
38 * method was added based on continous identifiers which supports an
39 * arbitary number of groups. Both methods are supported, see
40 * nl_join_groups() respectively nl_socket_add_membership() and
41 * nl_socket_drop_membership().
42 * - \b Peer \b Port: The peer port is a netlink port identifying the
43 * peer's endpoint. If no peer port is specified, the kernel will try to
44 * autobind to a socket of the specified netlink family automatically.
45 * This is very common as typically only one listening socket exists
46 * on the kernel side. The peer port can be modified using
47 * nl_socket_set_peer_port().
48 * - \b Peer \b Groups:
49 * - \b File \b Descriptor: The file descriptor of the socket, it can be
50 * accessed via nl_socket_get_fd() to change socket options or monitor
51 * activity using poll()/select().
52 * - \b Protocol: Once connected, the socket is bound to stick to one
53 * netlink family. This field is invisible, it is maintained automatically.
54 * (See nl_connect())
55 * - \b Next \b Sequence \b Number: Next available sequence number to be used
56 * for the next message being sent out. (Initial value: UNIX time when the
57 * socket was allocated.) Sequence numbers can be used via
58 * nl_socket_use_seq().
59 * - \b Expected \b Sequence \b Number: Expected sequence number in the next
60 * message received from the socket. (Initial value: Equal to next sequence
61 * number.)
62 * - \b Callbacks \b Configuration:
63 *
64 * @par 1) Creating the netlink handle
65 * @code
66 * struct nl_handle *handle;
67 *
68 * // Allocate and initialize a new netlink handle
69 * handle = nl_handle_alloc();
70 *
71 * // Use nl_socket_get_fd() to fetch the file description, for example to
72 * // put a socket into non-blocking i/o mode.
73 * fcntl(nl_socket_get_fd(handle), F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);
74 * @endcode
75 *
76 * @par 2) Group Subscriptions
77 * @code
78 * // Event notifications are typically sent to multicast addresses which
79 * // represented by groups. Join a group to f.e. receive link notifications.
80 * nl_socket_add_membership(handle, RTNLGRP_LINK);
81 * @endcode
82 *
83 * @par 6) Cleaning up
84 * @code
85 * // Finally destroy the netlink handle
86 * nl_handle_destroy(handle);
87 * @endcode
