 * Netlink Message Construction/Parsing Interface
 * 
 * The following information is partly extracted from RFC3549
 * (ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3549.txt)
 *
 * @par Message Format
 * Netlink messages consist of a byte stream with one or multiple
 * Netlink headers and an associated payload.  If the payload is too big
 * to fit into a single message it, can be split over multiple Netlink
 * messages, collectively called a multipart message.  For multipart
 * messages, the first and all following headers have the \c NLM_F_MULTI
 * Netlink header flag set, except for the last header which has the
 * Netlink header type \c NLMSG_DONE.
 *
 * @par
 * The Netlink message header (\link nlmsghdr struct nlmsghdr\endlink) is shown below.
 * @code   
 * 0                   1                   2                   3

 * This message is actually used to denote both an ACK and a NACK.
 * Typically, the direction is from FEC to CPC (in response to an ACK
 * request message).  However, the CPC should be able to send ACKs back
 * to FEC when requested.

 * @par Example
 * @code
 * // Various methods exist to create/allocate a new netlink
 * // message. 
 * //
 * // nlmsg_alloc() will allocate an empty netlink message with
 * // a maximum payload size which defaults to the page size of
 * // the system. This default size can be modified using the
 * // function nlmsg_set_default_size().
 * struct nl_msg *msg = nlmsg_alloc();
 *
 * // Very often, the message type and message flags are known
 * // at allocation time while the other fields are auto generated:
 * struct nl_msg *msg = nlmsg_alloc_simple(MY_TYPE, MY_FLAGS);
 *
 * // Alternatively an existing netlink message header can be used
 * // to inherit the header values:
 * struct nlmsghdr hdr = {
 * 	.nlmsg_type = MY_TYPE,
 * 	.nlmsg_flags = MY_FLAGS,
 * };
 * struct nl_msg *msg = nlmsg_inherit(&hdr);
 *
 * // Last but not least, netlink messages received from netlink sockets
 * // can be converted into nl_msg objects using nlmsg_convert(). This
 * // will create a message with a maximum payload size which equals the
 * // length of the existing netlink message, therefore no more data can
 * // be appened without calling nlmsg_expand() first.
 * struct nl_msg *msg = nlmsg_convert(nlh_from_nl_sock);
 *
 * // Payload may be added to the message via nlmsg_append(). The fourth
 * // parameter specifies the number of alignment bytes the data should
 * // be padding with at the end. Common values are 0 to disable it or
 * // NLMSG_ALIGNTO to ensure proper netlink message padding.
 * nlmsg_append(msg, &mydata, sizeof(mydata), 0);
 *
 * // Sometimes it may be necessary to reserve room for data but defer
 * // the actual copying to a later point, nlmsg_reserve() can be used
 * // for this purpose:
 * void *data = nlmsg_reserve(msg, sizeof(mydata), NLMSG_ALIGNTO);
 *
 * // Attributes may be added using the attributes interface.
 *
 * // After successful use of the message, the memory must be freed
 * // using nlmsg_free()
 * nlmsg_free(msg);
