Hi Jacques, Without having access to the code you're looking at, I can only assume that the family 31 is defined somewhere in the software. See http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/genericnetl... for details of how to define a netlink family. It's also indicative that this has been done because 32 seem to be the max number of families ( /usr/include/linux/netlink.h ) kind regards, Andreas On Tue, 2012-09-11 at 15:54 +0200, LIBCHABER, JACQUES (JACQUES) wrote:
Hello, I am studying some code involving NETLINK sockets. The code involves a call to socket: sock_fd = socket (AF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, 31) looking at NETLINK(7) or '/usr/include/bits/socket.h' I can't find any documentation for netlink_family=31 Could you point me to some answers. Thanks
