mnl-sys

Low level FFI bindings to [libmnl]. A minimalistic user-space library oriented to Netlink developers. See [mnl] for a higher level safe abstraction.

These bindings were generated with bindgen. See the generate_bindings.sh script in the repository.

Linking to libmnl

By default this crate uses pkg-config to find and link to [libmnl]. To manually configure where to look for the library, set the environment variable LIBMNL_LIB_DIR to point to the directory where libmnl.so or libmnl.a resides.

Selecting version of libmnl

This crate has bindings for multiple versions of [libmnl]. All bindings are generated by [bindgen] via the generate_bindings.sh script in this repository.

Only one version of libmnl can be exposed via this crate. By default the crate exports the bindings for the oldest supported version (libmnl-1.0.3). To get newer versions activate the corresponding features. See Cargo.toml for available features/versions.

So for example, to get bindings to libmnl-1.0.4 depend on this crate like this: toml [dependencies] mnl-sys = { version = "0.1", features = ["mnl-1-0-4"] }
