+ * @ingroup cache_mngt
+ * @defgroup cache_mngr Manager
+ * @brief Helps keeping caches up to date.
+ *
+ * The purpose of a cache manager is to keep track of caches and
+ * automatically receive event notifications to keep the caches
+ * up to date with the kernel state. Each manager has exactly one
+ * netlink socket assigned which limits the scope of each manager
+ * to exactly one netlink family. Therefore all caches committed
+ * to a manager must be part of the same netlink family. Due to the
+ * nature of a manager, it is not possible to have a cache maintain
+ * two instances of the same cache type. The socket is subscribed
+ * to the event notification group of each cache and also put into
+ * non-blocking mode. Functions exist to poll() on the socket to
+ * wait for new events to be received.
+ *

+/**
+ * @mainpage
+ *
+ * @section remarks Remarks
+ *
+ * @subsection cache_alloc Allocation of Caches
+ *
+ * Almost all subsystem provide a function to allocate a new cache
+ * of some form. The function usually looks like this:
+ * @code
+ * struct nl_cache *<object name>_alloc_cache(struct nl_handle *handle)
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * These functions allocate a new cache for the own object type,
+ * initializes it properly and updates it to represent the current
+ * state of their master, e.g. a link cache would include all
+ * links currently configured in the kernel.
+ *
+ * Some of the allocation functions may take additional arguments
+ * to further specify what will be part of the cache.
+ *
+ * All such functions return a newly allocated cache or NULL
+ * in case of an error.
+ *
+ * @subsection addr Setting of Addresses
+ * @code
+ * int <object name>_set_addr(struct nl_object *, struct nl_addr *)
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * All attribute functions avaiable for assigning addresses to objects
+ * take a struct nl_addr argument. The provided address object is
+ * validated against the address family of the object if known already.
+ * The assignment fails if the address families mismatch. In case the
+ * address family has not been specified yet, the address family of
+ * the new address is elected to be the new requirement.
+ *
+ * The function will acquire a new reference on the address object
+ * before assignment, the caller is NOT responsible for this.
+ *
+ * All functions return 0 on success or a negative error code.
+ *
+ * @subsection flags Flags to Character StringTranslations
+ * All functions converting a set of flags to a character string follow
+ * the same principles, therefore, the following information applies
+ * to all functions convertings flags to a character string and vice versa.
+ *
+ * @subsubsection flags2str Flags to Character String
+ * @code
+ * char *<object name>_flags2str(int flags, char *buf, size_t len)
+ * @endcode
+ * @arg flags		Flags.
+ * @arg buf		Destination buffer.
+ * @arg len		Buffer length.
+ *
+ * Converts the specified flags to a character string separated by
+ * commas and stores it in the specified destination buffer.
+ *
+ * @return The destination buffer
+ *
+ * @subsubsection str2flags Character String to Flags
+ * @code
+ * int <object name>_str2flags(const char *name)
+ * @endcode
+ * @arg name		Name of flag.
+ *
+ * Converts the provided character string specifying a flag
+ * to the corresponding numeric value.
+ *
+ * @return Link flag or a negative value if none was found.
+ *
+ * @subsubsection type2str Type to Character String
+ * @code
+ * char *<object name>_<type>2str(int type, char *buf, size_t len)
+ * @endcode
+ * @arg type		Type as numeric value
+ * @arg buf		Destination buffer.
+ * @arg len		Buffer length.
+ *
+ * Converts an identifier (type) to a character string and stores
+ * it in the specified destination buffer.
+ *
+ * @return The destination buffer or the type encoded in hexidecimal
+ *         form if the identifier is unknown.
+ *
+ * @subsubsection str2type Character String to Type
+ * @code
+ * int <object name>_str2<type>(const char *name)
+ * @endcode
+ * @arg name		Name of identifier (type).
+ *
+ * Converts the provided character string specifying a identifier
+ * to the corresponding numeric value.
+ *
+ * @return Identifier as numeric value or a negative value if none was found.

+/**
+ * @ingroup nl
+ * @defgroup cb Callbacks/Customization
+ * @brief
+ *
+ * Callbacks and overwriting capabilities are provided to take influence
+ * in various control flows inside the library. All callbacks are packed
+ * together in struct nl_cb which is then attached to a netlink socket or
+ * passed on to the respective functions directly.
+ *
+ * Callbacks can control the flow of the underlying layer by returning
+ * the appropriate error codes:
+ * @code
+ * Action ID        | Description
+ * -----------------+-------------------------------------------------------
+ * NL_OK       | Proceed with whatever comes next.
+ * NL_SKIP          | Skip message currently being processed and continue
+ *                  | with next message.
+ * NL_STOP          | Stop parsing and discard all remaining messages in
+ *                  | this set of messages.
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * All callbacks are optional and a default action is performed if no 
+ * application specific implementation is provided:
+ *
+ * @code
+ * Callback ID       | Default Return Value
+ * ------------------+----------------------
+ * NL_CB_VALID       | NL_OK
+ * NL_CB_FINISH      | NL_STOP
+ * NL_CB_OVERRUN     | NL_STOP
+ * NL_CB_SKIPPED     | NL_SKIP
+ * NL_CB_ACK         | NL_STOP
+ * NL_CB_MSG_IN      | NL_OK
+ * NL_CB_MSG_OUT     | NL_OK
+ * NL_CB_INVALID     | NL_STOP
+ * NL_CB_SEQ_CHECK   | NL_OK
+ * NL_CB_SEND_ACK    | NL_OK
+ *                   |
+ * Error Callback    | NL_STOP
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * In order to simplify typical usages of the library, different sets of
+ * default callback implementations exist:
+ * @code
+ * NL_CB_DEFAULT: No additional actions
+ * NL_CB_VERBOSE: Automatically print warning and error messages to a file
+ *                descriptor as appropriate. This is useful for CLI based
+ *                applications.
+ * NL_CB_DEBUG:   Print informal debugging information for each message
+ *                received. This will result in every message beint sent or
+ *                received to be printed to the screen in a decoded,
+ *                human-readable format.
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par 1) Setting up a callback set
+ * @code
+ * // Allocate a callback set and initialize it to the verbose default set
+ * struct nl_cb *cb = nl_cb_alloc(NL_CB_VERBOSE);
+ *
+ * // Modify the set to call my_func() for all valid messages
+ * nl_cb_set(cb, NL_CB_VALID, NL_CB_CUSTOM, my_func, NULL);
+ *
+ * // Set the error message handler to the verbose default implementation
+ * // and direct it to print all errors to the given file descriptor.
+ * FILE *file = fopen(...);
+ * nl_cb_err(cb, NL_CB_VERBOSE, NULL, file);
+ * @endcode
+ * @{

+/**
+ * @ingroup rtnl
+ * @defgroup link Links (Interfaces)
+ * @brief
+ *
+ * @par Link Identification
+ * A link can be identified by either its interface index or by its
+ * name. The kernel favours the interface index but falls back to the
+ * interface name if the interface index is lesser-than 0 for kernels
+ * >= 2.6.11. Therefore you can request changes without mapping a
+ * interface name to the corresponding index first.
+ *
+ * @par Changeable Attributes
+ * @anchor link_changeable
+ *  - Link layer address
+ *  - Link layer broadcast address
+ *  - device mapping (ifmap) (>= 2.6.9)
+ *  - MTU (>= 2.6.9)
+ *  - Transmission queue length (>= 2.6.9)
+ *  - Weight (>= 2.6.9)
+ *  - Link name (only via access through interface index) (>= 2.6.9)
+ *  - Flags (>= 2.6.9)
+ *    - IFF_DEBUG
+ *    - IFF_NOTRAILERS
+ *    - IFF_NOARP
+ *    - IFF_DYNAMIC
+ *    - IFF_MULTICAST
+ *    - IFF_PORTSEL
+ *    - IFF_AUTOMEDIA
+ *    - IFF_UP
+ *    - IFF_PROMISC
+ *    - IFF_ALLMULTI
+ *
+ * @par Link Flags (linux/if.h)
+ * @anchor link_flags
+ * @code
+ *   IFF_UP            Status of link (up|down)
+ *   IFF_BROADCAST     Indicates this link allows broadcasting
+ *   IFF_MULTICAST     Indicates this link allows multicasting
+ *   IFF_ALLMULTI      Indicates this link is doing multicast routing
+ *   IFF_DEBUG         Tell the driver to do debugging (currently unused)
+ *   IFF_LOOPBACK      This is the loopback link
+ *   IFF_POINTOPOINT   Point-to-point link
+ *   IFF_NOARP         Link is unable to perform ARP
+ *   IFF_PROMISC       Status of promiscious mode flag
+ *   IFF_MASTER        Used by teql
+ *   IFF_SLAVE         Used by teql
+ *   IFF_PORTSEL       Indicates this link allows port selection
+ *   IFF_AUTOMEDIA     Indicates this link selects port automatically
+ *   IFF_DYNAMIC       Indicates the address of this link is dynamic
+ *   IFF_RUNNING       Link is running and carrier is ok.
+ *   IFF_NOTRAILERS    Unused, BSD compat.
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par Notes on IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI flags
+ * Although you can query the status of IFF_PROMISC and IFF_ALLMULTI
+ * they do not represent the actual state in the kernel but rather
+ * whether the flag has been enabled/disabled by userspace. The link
+ * may be in promiscious mode even if IFF_PROMISC is not set in a link
+ * dump request response because promiscity might be needed by the driver
+ * for a period of time.
+ *
+ * @note The unit of the transmission queue length depends on the
+ *       link type, a common unit is \a packets.
+ *
+ * @par 1) Retrieving information about available links
+ * @code
+ * // The first step is to retrieve a list of all available interfaces within
+ * // the kernel and put them into a cache.
+ * struct nl_cache *cache = rtnl_link_alloc_cache(nl_handle);
+ *
+ * // In a second step, a specific link may be looked up by either interface
+ * // index or interface name.
+ * struct rtnl_link *link = rtnl_link_get_by_name(cache, "lo");
+ *
+ * // rtnl_link_get_by_name() is the short version for translating the
+ * // interface name to an interface index first like this:
+ * int ifindex = rtnl_link_name2i(cache, "lo");
+ * struct rtnl_link *link = rtnl_link_get(cache, ifindex);
+ *
+ * // After successful usage, the object must be given back to the cache
+ * rtnl_link_put(link);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par 2) Changing link attributes
+ * @code
+ * // In order to change any attributes of an existing link, we must allocate
+ * // a new link to hold the change requests:
+ * struct rtnl_link *request = rtnl_link_alloc();
+ *
+ * // Now we can go on and specify the attributes we want to change:
+ * rtnl_link_set_weight(request, 300);
+ * rtnl_link_set_mtu(request, 1360);
+ *
+ * // We can also shut an interface down administratively
+ * rtnl_link_unset_flags(request, rtnl_link_str2flags("up"));
+ *
+ * // Actually, we should know which link to change, so let's look it up
+ * struct rtnl_link *old = rtnl_link_get(cache, "eth0");
+ *
+ * // Two ways exist to commit this change request, the first one is to
+ * // build the required netlink message and send it out in one single
+ * // step:
+ * rtnl_link_change(nl_handle, old, request);
+ *
+ * // An alternative way is to build the netlink message and send it
+ * // out yourself using nl_send_auto_complete()
+ * struct nl_msg *msg = rtnl_link_build_change_request(old, request);
+ * nl_send_auto_complete(nl_handle, nlmsg_hdr(msg));
+ * nlmsg_free(msg);
+ *
+ * // Don't forget to give back the link object ;->
+ * rtnl_link_put(old);
+ * @endcode

+ * @ingroup rtnl
+ * @defgroup neigh Neighbours
+ * @brief
+ *
+ * The neighbour table establishes bindings between protocol addresses and
+ * link layer addresses for hosts sharing the same physical link. This
+ * module allows you to access and manipulate the content of these tables.
+ *
+ * @par Neighbour States
+ * @code
+ * NUD_INCOMPLETE
+ * NUD_REACHABLE
+ * NUD_STALE
+ * NUD_DELAY
+ * NUD_PROBE
+ * NUD_FAILED
+ * NUD_NOARP
+ * NUD_PERMANENT
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par Neighbour Flags
+ * @code
+ * NTF_PROXY
+ * NTF_ROUTER
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par Neighbour Identification
+ * A neighbour is uniquely identified by the attributes listed below, whenever
+ * you refer to an existing neighbour all of the attributes must be set.
+ * Neighbours from caches automatically have all required attributes set.
+ *   - interface index (rtnl_neigh_set_ifindex())
+ *   - destination address (rtnl_neigh_set_dst())
+ *
+ * @par Changeable Attributes
+ * \anchor neigh_changeable
+ *  - state (rtnl_neigh_set_state())
+ *  - link layer address (rtnl_neigh_set_lladdr())
+ *
+ * @par Required Caches for Dumping
+ * In order to dump neighbour attributes you must provide the following
+ * caches via nl_cache_provide()
+ *  - link cache holding all links
+ *
+ * @par TODO
+ *   - Document proxy settings
+ *   - Document states and their influence
+ *
+ * @par 1) Retrieving information about configured neighbours
+ * @code
+ * // The first step is to retrieve a list of all available neighbour within
+ * // the kernel and put them into a cache.
+ * struct nl_cache *cache = rtnl_neigh_alloc_cache(handle);
+ *
+ * // Neighbours can then be looked up by the interface and destination
+ * // address:
+ * struct rtnl_neigh *neigh = rtnl_neigh_get(cache, ifindex, dst_addr);
+ * 
+ * // After successful usage, the object must be given back to the cache
+ * rtnl_neigh_put(neigh);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par 2) Adding new neighbours
+ * @code
+ * // Allocate an empty neighbour handle to be filled out with the attributes
+ * // of the new neighbour.
+ * struct rtnl_neigh *neigh = rtnl_neigh_alloc();
+ *
+ * // Fill out the attributes of the new neighbour
+ * rtnl_neigh_set_ifindex(neigh, ifindex);
+ * rtnl_neigh_set_dst(neigh, dst_addr);
+ * rtnl_neigh_set_state(neigh, rtnl_neigh_str2state("permanent"));
+ *
+ * // Build the netlink message and send it to the kernel, the operation will
+ * // block until the operation has been completed. Alternatively the required
+ * // netlink message can be built using rtnl_neigh_build_add_request()
+ * // to be sent out using nl_send_auto_complete().
+ * rtnl_neigh_add(nl_handle, neigh, NLM_F_REPLACE);
+ *
+ * // Free the memory
+ * rtnl_neigh_put(neigh);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par 3) Deleting an existing neighbour
+ * @code
+ * // Allocate an empty neighbour object to be filled out with the attributes
+ * // matching the neighbour to be deleted. Alternatively a fully equipped
+ * // neighbour object out of a cache can be used instead.
+ * struct rtnl_neigh *neigh = rtnl_neigh_alloc();
+ *
+ * // Neighbours are uniquely identified by their interface index and
+ * // destination address, you may fill out other attributes but they
+ * // will have no influence.
+ * rtnl_neigh_set_ifindex(neigh, ifindex);
+ * rtnl_neigh_set_dst(neigh, dst_addr);
+ *
+ * // Build the netlink message and send it to the kernel, the operation will
+ * // block until the operation has been completed. Alternatively the required
+ * // netlink message can be built using rtnl_neigh_build_delete_request()
+ * // to be sent out using nl_send_auto_complete().
+ * rtnl_neigh_delete(handle, neigh, 0);
+ *
+ * // Free the memory
+ * rtnl_neigh_put(neigh);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par 4) Changing neighbour attributes
+ * @code
+ * // Allocate an empty neighbour object to be filled out with the attributes
+ * // matching the neighbour to be changed and the new parameters. Alternatively
+ * // a fully equipped modified neighbour object out of a cache can be used.
+ * struct rtnl_neigh *neigh = rtnl_neigh_alloc();
+ *
+ * // Identify the neighbour to be changed by its interface index and
+ * // destination address
+ * rtnl_neigh_set_ifindex(neigh, ifindex);
+ * rtnl_neigh_set_dst(neigh, dst_addr);
+ *
+ * // The link layer address may be modified, if so it is wise to change
+ * // its state to "permanent" in order to avoid having it overwritten.
+ * rtnl_neigh_set_lladdr(neigh, lladdr);
+ *
+ * // Secondly the state can be modified allowing normal neighbours to be
+ * // converted into permanent entries or to manually confirm a neighbour.
+ * rtnl_neigh_set_state(neigh, state);
+ *
+ * // Build the netlink message and send it to the kernel, the operation will
+ * // block until the operation has been completed. Alternatively the required
+ * // netlink message can be built using rtnl_neigh_build_change_request()
+ * // to be sent out using nl_send_auto_complete().
+ * rtnl_neigh_change(handle, neigh, 0);
+ *
+ * // Free the memory
+ * rtnl_neigh_put(neigh);
+ * @endcode

+ *  - \c TC_H_INGRESS: ingress qdisc (directly attached to the device)
+ *  - \c TC_H_UNSPEC: unspecified qdisc (no reference)
+ *
+ * @par 1) Adding a Qdisc
+ * @code
+ * // Allocate a new empty qdisc to be filled out
+ * struct rtnl_qdisc *qdisc = rtnl_qdisc_alloc();
+ *
+ * // ... specify the kind of the Qdisc
+ * rtnl_qdisc_set_kind(qdisc, "pfifo");
+ *
+ * // Specify the device the qdisc should be attached to
+ * rtnl_qdisc_set_ifindex(qdisc, ifindex);

+ * // ... specify the parent qdisc
+ * rtnl_qdisc_set_parent(qdisc, TC_H_ROOT);
+ *
+ * // Specifying the handle is not required but makes reidentifying easier
+ * // and may help to avoid adding a qdisc twice.
+ * rtnl_qdisc_set_handle(qdisc, 0x000A0000);
+ *
+ * // Now on to specify the qdisc specific options, see the relevant qdisc
+ * // modules for documentation, in this example we set the upper limit of

+ * // Qdisc object from a cache can be used.
+ * struct rtnl_qdisc *qdisc = rtnl_qdisc_alloc();
+ *
+ * // The interface index of the device the qdisc is on and the parent handle
+ * // are the least required fields to be filled out.

+ *
+ * // Not required but maybe helpful as sanity check, the kind of the qdisc
+ * // can be specified to avoid mistakes.
+ * rtnl_qdisc_set_kind(qdisc, "pfifo");
+ *

+/**
+ * @ingroup nl
+ * @defgroup socket Socket
+ * @brief Handle representing a netlink socket.
+ *
+ * The socket is represented in a structure called the netlink handle,
+ * besides the socket, it stores various settings and values related
+ * to the socket. Every socket handle has a mandatory association with
+ * a set of callbacks which can be used to modify the behaviour when
+ * sending/receiving data from the socket.
+ *
+ * @par Socket Attributes
+ * - \b Local \b Port: The local port is a netlink port identifying the
+ *   local endpoint. It is used as source address for outgoing messages
+ *   and will be addressed in replies. It must therefore be unique among
+ *   all userspace applications. When the socket handle is allocated, a
+ *   unique port number is generated automatically in the form of 22 bits
+ *   Process Identifier + 10 bits Arbitary Number. Therefore the library
+ *   is capable of generating 1024 unique local port numbers for every
+ *   process. If more sockets are required, the application has to manage
+ *   port numbers itself using nl_socket_set_local_port().
+ * - \b Group \b Subscriptions: A socket can subscribe to any number of
+ *   multicast groups. It will then receive a copy of all messages sent
+ *   to one of the groups. This method is mainly used for event notification.
+ *   Prior to kernel 2.6.14, the group subscription was done via bitmask
+ *   which limited to a total number of groups of 32. With 2.6.14 a new
+ *   method was added based on continous identifiers which supports an
+ *   arbitary number of groups. Both methods are supported, see
+ *   nl_join_groups() respectively nl_socket_add_membership() and
+ *   nl_socket_drop_membership().
+ * - \b Peer \b Port: The peer port is a netlink port identifying the
+ *   peer's endpoint. If no peer port is specified, the kernel will try to
+ *   autobind to a socket of the specified netlink family automatically.
+ *   This is very common as typically only one listening socket exists
+ *   on the kernel side. The peer port can be modified using
+ *   nl_socket_set_peer_port().
+ * - \b Peer \b Groups:
+ * - \b File \b Descriptor: The file descriptor of the socket, it can be
+ *   accessed via nl_socket_get_fd() to change socket options or monitor
+ *   activity using poll()/select().
+ * - \b Protocol: Once connected, the socket is bound to stick to one
+ *   netlink family. This field is invisible, it is maintained automatically.
+ *   (See nl_connect())
+ * - \b Next \b Sequence \b Number: Next available sequence number to be used
+ *   for the next message being sent out. (Initial value: UNIX time when the
+ *   socket was allocated.) Sequence numbers can be used via
+ *   nl_socket_use_seq().
+ * - \b Expected \b Sequence \b Number: Expected sequence number in the next
+ *   message received from the socket. (Initial value: Equal to next sequence
+ *   number.)
+ * - \b Callbacks \b Configuration:
+ *
+ * @par 1) Creating the netlink handle
+ * @code
+ * struct nl_handle *handle;
+ *
+ * // Allocate and initialize a new netlink handle
+ * handle = nl_handle_alloc();
+ *
+ * // Use nl_socket_get_fd() to fetch the file description, for example to
+ * // put a socket into non-blocking i/o mode.
+ * fcntl(nl_socket_get_fd(handle), F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par 2) Group Subscriptions
+ * @code
+ * // Event notifications are typically sent to multicast addresses which
+ * // represented by groups. Join a group to f.e. receive link notifications.
+ * nl_socket_add_membership(handle, RTNLGRP_LINK);
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * @par 6) Cleaning up
+ * @code
+ * // Finally destroy the netlink handle
+ * nl_handle_destroy(handle);
