## Detailed Description

## Function Documentation

## ◆ flnl_result_alloc_cache()

struct nl_cache* flnl_result_alloc_cache | ( | void |  | ) |

Allocate lookup result cache.

Allocates a new lookup result cache and initializes it properly.

Note
  Free the memory after usage using nl_cache_destroy_and_free().

Returns
  Newly allocated cache or NULL if an error occured.

## ◆ flnl_lookup_build_request()

int flnl_lookup_build_request | ( | struct flnl_request * | req,
|  | int | flags,
|  | struct nl_msg ** | result
| ) |  |

Builds a netlink request message to do a lookup.

Parameters

  req | Requested match.
  flags | additional netlink message flags
  result | Result pointer

Builds a new netlink message requesting a change of link attributes. The netlink message header isn't fully equipped with all relevant fields and must be sent out via nl_send_auto_complete() or supplemented as needed. old must point to a link currently configured in the kernel and tmpl must contain the attributes to be changed set via `rtnl_link_set_*` functions.

Returns
  0 on success or a negative error code.

## ◆ flnl_lookup()

int flnl_lookup | ( | struct nl_sock * | sk,
|  | struct flnl_request * | req,
|  | struct nl_cache * | cache
| ) |  |

Perform FIB Lookup.

Parameters

  sk | Netlink socket.
  req | Lookup request object.
  cache | Cache for result.

Builds a netlink message to request a FIB lookup, waits for the reply and adds the result to the specified cache.

Returns
  0 on success or a negative error code.
