pub struct NetlinkMessage<I> {
    pub header: NetlinkHeader,
    pub payload: NetlinkPayload<I>,
}
Expand description

Represent a netlink message.

Fields

header: NetlinkHeader

Message header (this is common to all the netlink protocols)

payload: NetlinkPayload<I>

Inner message, which depends on the netlink protocol being used.

Implementations

Create a new netlink message from the given header and payload

Consume this message and return its header and payload

Parse the given buffer as a netlink message

Return the length of this message in bytes

Serialize this message and write the serialized data into the given buffer. buffer must big large enough for the whole message to fit, otherwise, this method will panic. To know how big the serialized message is, call buffer_len().

Panic

This method panics if the buffer is not big enough.

Ensure the header (NetlinkHeader) is consistent with the payload (NetlinkPayload):

  • compute the payload length and set the header’s length field
  • check the payload type and set the header’s message type field accordingly

If you are not 100% sure the header is correct, this method should be called before calling Emitable::emit(), as it could panic if the header is inconsistent with the rest of the message.
