+Description: minimalistic Netlink communication library (devel)
+ libmnl is a minimalistic user-space library oriented to Netlink developers.
+ There are a lot of common tasks in parsing, validating, constructing of
+ both the Netlink header and TLVs that are repetitive and easy to get wrong.
+ This library aims to provide simple helpers that allows you to re-use code
+ and to avoid re-inventing the wheel.
+ .
+ The main features of this library are:
+ .
+ Small: the shared library requires around 30KB for an x86-based computer.
+ .
+ Simple: this library avoids complexity and elaborated abstractions that
+ tend to hide Netlink details.
+ .
+ Easy to use: the library simplifies the work for Netlink-wise developers.
+ It provides functions to make socket handling, message building,
+ validating, parsing and sequence tracking, easier.
+ .
+ Easy to re-use: you can use the library to build your own abstraction
+ layer on top of this library.
+ .
+ Decoupling: the interdependency of the main bricks that compose the
+ library is reduced, i.e. the library provides many helpers, but the
+ programmer is not forced to use them.
