- /* Netlink message helpers.
- *
- * 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 helper functions for working with Netlink messages.
- * For Netlink protocol definitions, see netlink-protocol.h. For
- * Linux-specific definitions for Netlink sockets, see netlink-socket.h.
