Netlink-Rust
Netlink library for rust. Work in progress.
Background
This was made to explore Rust while also exploring how nl80211 works. Thus a netlink subsystem was needed.
As most API's in the Linux kernel realm, this is a bit hairy and incoherent. Most of the energy has been put into the generic Netlink area.
Examples
There are some examples in the examples directory. Run them using cargo.
cargo run --example example
cargo run --example uevent_example
Compatability
Rust 1.30.0 or later is needed.
Tested on following platforms,
- Linux 4.18 x86_64, Fedora 28
- Linux 4.1 ARMv7
- Linux 4.9 AArch64
