/* Netlink socket definitions.
 *
 * Netlink is a datagram-based network protocol primarily for communication
 * between user processes and the kernel, and mainly on Linux.  Netlink is
 * specified in RFC 3549, "Linux Netlink as an IP Services Protocol".
 *
 * Netlink is not suitable for use in physical networks of heterogeneous
 * machines because host byte order is used throughout.
 *
 * This header file defines functions for working with Netlink sockets, which
 * are Linux-specific.  For Netlink protocol definitions, see
 * netlink-protocol.h.  For helper functions for working with Netlink messages,
 * see netlink.h.
