Expand description

This module provides a lot of netlink constants for various protocol. As we add support for the various protocols, these constants will be moved to their own crate.

Constants

NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP

NETLINK_AUDIT

Auditing.

NETLINK_BROADCAST_ERROR

NETLINK_CAP_ACK

NETLINK_CONNECTED

NETLINK_CONNECTOR

Kernel connector. See Documentation/connector/* in the Linux kernel source tree for further information.

Netlink interface to request information about ciphers registered with the kernel crypto API as well as allow configuration of the kernel crypto API.

NETLINK_DNRTMSG

DECnet routing messages.

NETLINK_DROP_MEMBERSHIP

NETLINK_ECRYPTFS

NETLINK_EXT_ACK

NETLINK_FIB_LOOKUP

Access to FIB lookup from user space.

NETLINK_FIREWALL

Transport IPv4 packets from netfilter to user space. Used by ip_queue kernel module. After a long period of being declared obsolete (in favor of the more advanced nfnetlink_queue feature), it was removed in Linux 3.5.

NETLINK_GENERIC

Generic netlink family for simplified netlink usage.

NETLINK_INET_DIAG

NETLINK_IP6_FW

Transport IPv6 packets from netfilter to user space. Used by ip6_queue kernel module.

NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS

NETLINK_NETFILTER

Netfilter subsystem.

NETLINK_NFLOG

Netfilter/iptables ULOG.

Infiniband RDMA.

Receives routing and link updates and may be used to modify the routing tables (both IPv4 and IPv6), IP addresses, link parameters, neighbor setups, queueing disciplines, traffic classes and packet classifiers (see rtnetlink(7)).

NETLINK_RX_RING

NETLINK_SCSITRANSPORT

SCSI transpots

NETLINK_SELINUX

SELinux event notifications.

NETLINK_SMC

NETLINK_SOCK_DIAG
