Detailed Description

Function Documentation

struct nl_cache* flnl_result_alloc_cache ( void  )

read

Allocate lookup result cache.

Allocates a new lookup result cache and initializes it properly.

Note

Free the memory after usage using nl_cache_destroy_and_free().

Returns

Newly allocated cache or NULL if an error occured.

Here is the call graph for this function:

int flnl_lookup_build_request	(	struct flnl_request *	req,
		int	flags,
		struct nl_msg **	result
	)

Builds a netlink request message to do a lookup.

Parameters

req	Requested match.
flags	additional netlink message flags
result	Result pointer

Builds a new netlink message requesting a change of link attributes. The netlink message header isn't fully equipped with all relevant fields and must be sent out via nl_send_auto_complete() or supplemented as needed. old must point to a link currently configured in the kernel and tmpl must contain the attributes to be changed set via rtnl_link_set_* functions.

Returns

0 on success or a negative error code.

	)

Perform FIB Lookup.

Parameters

sk	Netlink socket.
req	Lookup request object.
cache	Cache for result.

Builds a netlink message to request a FIB lookup, waits for the reply and adds the result to the specified cache.

Returns

0 on success or a negative error code.
