SocketAFNETLINK
SocketAFNETLINK is a type of socket used in Unix-like operating systems for communication with the kernel. It is part of the Netlink protocol suite, which provides a mechanism for user-space applications to communicate with the kernel. The Netlink protocol is designed to be flexible and extensible, allowing for a wide range of communication patterns between user-space and the kernel.
The AF_NETLINK socket family is identified by the constant AF_NETLINK in the socket API. It is used
One of the key features of AF_NETLINK is its support for multicast communication. This allows multiple applications
AF_NETLINK sockets are typically created using the socket() system call, specifying AF_NETLINK as the domain and
In summary, SocketAFNETLINK is a powerful tool for user-space applications to interact with the kernel, providing
