     1  // Package netlink provides a simple library for netlink. Netlink is
     2  // the interface a user-space program in linux uses to communicate with
     3  // the kernel. It can be used to add and remove interfaces, set up ip
     4  // addresses and routes, and confiugre ipsec. Netlink communication
     5  // requires elevated privileges, so in most cases this code needs to
     6  // be run as root. The low level primitives for netlink are contained
     7  // in the nl subpackage. This package attempts to provide a high-level
     8  // interface that is loosly modeled on the iproute2 cli.
