From f88a10d65620d97b6d0a7e352a3493c1b7e7409b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Graf Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2005 22:50:12 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [NETLINK]: New message building macros NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER(skb, nlcb, type, length) Start a new netlink message as answer to a request, returns the message header. NLMSG_END(skb, nlh) End a netlink message, fixes total message length, returns skb->len. NLMSG_CANCEL(skb, nlh) Cancel the building process and trim whole message from skb again, returns -1.
