Detailed Description

Function Documentation

mnl_cb_run()

int mnl_cb_run	(	const void *	buf,
		size_t	numbytes,
		unsigned int	seq,
		unsigned int	portid,
		mnl_cb_t	cb_data,
		void *	data
	)

mnl_cb_run - callback runqueue for netlink messages (simplified version)

Parameters

buf	buffer that contains the netlink messages
numbytes	number of bytes stored in the buffer
seq	sequence number that we expect to receive
portid	Netlink PortID that we expect to receive
cb_data	callback handler for data messages
data	pointer to data that will be passed to the data callback handler

This function is like mnl_cb_run2() but it does not allow you to set the control callback handlers.

Your callback may return three possible values:

• MNL_CB_ERROR (<=-1): an error has occurred. Stop callback runqueue.
• MNL_CB_STOP (=0): stop callback runqueue.
• MNL_CB_OK (>=1): no problems has occurred.

This function propagates the callback return value.

mnl_cb_run2()

int mnl_cb_run2	(	const void *	buf,
		size_t	numbytes,
		unsigned int	seq,
		unsigned int	portid,
		mnl_cb_t	cb_data,
		void *	data,
		const mnl_cb_t *	cb_ctl_array,
		unsigned int	cb_ctl_array_len
	)

mnl_cb_run2 - callback runqueue for netlink messages

Parameters

buf	buffer that contains the netlink messages
numbytes	number of bytes stored in the buffer
seq	sequence number that we expect to receive
portid	Netlink PortID that we expect to receive
cb_data	callback handler for data messages
data	pointer to data that will be passed to the data callback handler
cb_ctl_array	array of custom callback handlers from control messages
cb_ctl_array_len	array length of custom control callback handlers

You can set the cb_ctl_array to NULL if you want to use the default control callback handlers, in that case, the parameter cb_ctl_array_len is not checked.

Your callback may return three possible values:

• MNL_CB_ERROR (<=-1): an error has occurred. Stop callback runqueue.
• MNL_CB_STOP (=0): stop callback runqueue.
• MNL_CB_OK (>=1): no problem has occurred.

This function propagates the callback return value. On error, it returns -1 and errno is explicitly set. If the portID is not the expected, errno is set to ESRCH. If the sequence number is not the expected, errno is set to EPROTO. If the dump was interrupted, errno is set to EINTR and you should request a new fresh dump again.
