The 'iproute' sources build a 'lib/libnetlink.a'. Is that the same
library, I wonder? Does iproute depend on it in SUSE or Red Hat? There
is no such package on Debian or Ubuntu.
At the bottom of 'man 3 netlink', it says:
SEE ALSO
netlink(7)
and ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/iproute2* for libnetlink
I connected with 'ncftp' and see that the glob above is meant to
indicate that the libnetlink this man page refers to is the one in the
iproute package. 'man 3 netlink' describes only a few macros, not much
of an interface improvement relative to what I see under the lib
directory of libnl-1.0-pre3.
So now my question is, will 'iproute' start using 'libnl' at some point?
It would be good if it was possible for them to combine their efforts.
