связь между ядром и пользовательским пространством (AF_NETLINK) (communication between kernel and user space (AF_NETLINK))
Примеры (Examples)
The following example creates a NETLINK_ROUTE
netlink socket
which will listen to the RTMGRP_LINK
(network interface
create/delete/up/down events) and RTMGRP_IPV4_IFADDR
(IPv4
addresses add/delete events) multicast groups.
struct sockaddr_nl sa;
memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa));
sa.nl_family = AF_NETLINK;
sa.nl_groups = RTMGRP_LINK | RTMGRP_IPV4_IFADDR;
fd = socket(AF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_ROUTE);
bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *) &sa, sizeof(sa));
The next example demonstrates how to send a netlink message to
the kernel (pid 0). Note that the application must take care of
message sequence numbers in order to reliably track
acknowledgements.
struct nlmsghdr *nh; /* The nlmsghdr with payload to send */
struct sockaddr_nl sa;
struct iovec iov = { nh, nh->nlmsg_len };
struct msghdr msg;
msg = { &sa, sizeof(sa), &iov, 1, NULL, 0, 0 };
memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa));
sa.nl_family = AF_NETLINK;
nh->nlmsg_pid = 0;
nh->nlmsg_seq = ++sequence_number;
/* Request an ack from kernel by setting NLM_F_ACK */
nh->nlmsg_flags |= NLM_F_ACK;
sendmsg(fd, &msg, 0);
And the last example is about reading netlink message.
int len;
/* 8192 to avoid message truncation on platforms with
page size > 4096 */
struct nlmsghdr buf[8192/sizeof(struct nlmsghdr)];
struct iovec iov = { buf, sizeof(buf) };
struct sockaddr_nl sa;
struct msghdr msg;
struct nlmsghdr *nh;
msg = { &sa, sizeof(sa), &iov, 1, NULL, 0, 0 };
len = recvmsg(fd, &msg, 0);
for (nh = (struct nlmsghdr *) buf; NLMSG_OK (nh, len);
nh = NLMSG_NEXT (nh, len)) {
/* The end of multipart message */
if (nh->nlmsg_type == NLMSG_DONE)
return;
if (nh->nlmsg_type == NLMSG_ERROR)
/* Do some error handling */
...
/* Continue with parsing payload */
...
}
