This is what I have done: https://github.com/dsahern/iproute2/commits/ext-ack Basically, added the parsing code and then a new rtnl_talk_extack function that takes a callback to invoke with the extack data. The last patch (of 3) purposely breaks ip set link mtu -- sending the mtu as a u16 rather than a u32 just to work on the plumbing for parsing the returned message: $ ip li set dummy1 mtu 1490 Error with rtnetlink attribute IFLA_MTU If an errmsg is returned it is printed as well.
