NetlinkSocket class opens a netlink socket and forwards data arriving on the socket to NetlinkSocketObservers. The NetlinkSocket hooks itself into the EventLoop and activity usually happens asynchronously.
| NetlinkSocket (EventLoop& e) | NetlinkSocket | 
| ~NetlinkSocket () | ~NetlinkSocket | 
| int  start (int af) | start | 
Start the netlink socket operation.
Parameters:
| af | the address family. | 
Returns: XORP_OK on success, otherwise XORP_ERROR.
| int  stop () | stop | 
Stop the netlink socket operation.
Returns: XORP_OK on success, otherwise XORP_ERROR.
| inline bool  is_open () | is_open | 
[const]
| ssize_t  write (const void* data, size_t nbytes) | write | 
Write data to netlink socket. Update sequence number associated with netlink socket.
| ssize_t  sendto (const void* data, size_t nbytes, int flags,
		   const struct sockaddr* to, socklen_t tolen) | sendto | 
Sendto data on netlink socket. Update sequence number associated with netlink socket.
| inline uint32_t  seqno () | seqno | 
[const]
Get sequence number for next message written into kernel. Sequence number is derived of the instance number of the netlink socket and a 16bit counter.
| inline pid_t  pid () | pid | 
[const]
Get cached process identifier value.
| void  force_read () | force_read | 
Force socket to read data - usually performed after writing a request that the kernel will answer, eg after writing a route lookup.
Use sparingly, with caution, and at your own risk.
| void  force_recvfrom (int flags, struct sockaddr* from, socklen_t* fromlen) | force_recvfrom | 
Force socket to recvfrom data - usually performed after writing a sendto() request that the kernel will answer, eg after writing a route lookup.
Use sparingly, with caution, and at your own risk.
| void  force_recvmsg (int flags) | force_recvmsg | 
Force socket to recvmsg data - usually performed after writing a sendto() request that the kernel will answer, eg after writing a route lookup.
Use sparingly, with caution, and at your own risk.
