Hello everyone
I'm completely new to linux kernel and I would be grateful if you could help me get started. I read some basic things about the kernel. But I couldnt find anything relevant to the question below.
So: Does the kernel have any support for the construction and encoding of type/length/value (TLV) or other information element messages? if it has(or if you dont know) where can I find a list or more documentation?
I think what you are looking for is the Generic Netlink API. Here is a good howto: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/genericnetl... Hope it helps, -- Javier Martínez Canillas (+34) 682 39 81 69 Barcelona, Spain
