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.
int rtnl_neigh_alloc_cache | ( | struct nl_sock * | sock, |
struct nl_cache ** | result | ||
) |
Build a neighbour cache including all neighbours currently configured in the kernel.
sock | Netlink socket. |
result | Pointer to store resulting cache. |
Allocates a new neighbour cache, initializes it properly and updates it to include all neighbours currently configured in the kernel.

int rtnl_neigh_build_add_request | ( | struct rtnl_neigh * | tmpl, |
int | flags, | ||
struct nl_msg ** | result | ||

Build netlink request message to add a new neighbour.
tmpl | template with data of new neighbour |
flags | additional netlink message flags |
result | Pointer to store resulting message. |
Builds a new netlink message requesting a addition of a new neighbour. The netlink message header isn't fully equipped with all relevant fields and must thus be sent out via nl_send_auto_complete() or supplemented as needed. tmpl must contain the attributes of the new neighbour set via rtnl_neigh_set_*
functions.
The following attributes must be set in the template:

int rtnl_neigh_add | ( | struct nl_sock * | sk, |
struct rtnl_neigh * | tmpl, | ||
int | flags | ||
) |
Add a new neighbour.
sk | Netlink socket. |
tmpl | template with requested changes |
flags | additional netlink message flags |
Builds a netlink message by calling rtnl_neigh_build_add_request(), sends the request to the kernel and waits for the next ACK to be received and thus blocks until the request has been fullfilled.

int rtnl_neigh_build_delete_request | ( | struct rtnl_neigh * | neigh, |

Build a netlink request message to delete a neighbour.
neigh | neighbour to delete |
flags | additional netlink message flags |
result | Pointer to store resulting message. |
Builds a new netlink message requesting a deletion of a neighbour. The netlink message header isn't fully equipped with all relevant fields and must thus be sent out via nl_send_auto_complete() or supplemented as needed. neigh must point to an existing neighbour.
