When netlink is used with recvmsg/sendmsg, so when decoding these messages, we already know that they will this will be netlink packets. So a good start would be to just decode the basic headers for these packets, only on recvmsg/sendmsg, and build from there in order to add more protocols for example. After that we need also to be able to look at send/recv, but for that we need to be able to recognize the protocol before. There may be some work done on that point (retrieve the address family/type/protocol under a socket) but I am not sure about it. I hope this answers your interrogations, and helps you in order to create a proposal. -- Gabriel Laskar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Strace-devel mailing list Strace-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/strace-devel
