Detailed Description

Definition of a Generic Netlink command.

This structure is used to define the list of available commands on the receiving side.

Example:: static struct genl_cmd foo_cmds[] = {

{

.c_id = FOO_CMD_NEW,

.c_name = "NEWFOO" ,

.c_maxattr = FOO_ATTR_MAX,

.c_attr_policy = foo_policy,

.c_msg_parser = foo_msg_parser,

},

{

.c_id = FOO_CMD_DEL,

.c_name = "DELFOO" ,

},

};

static struct genl_ops my_genl_ops = {

[...]

.o_cmds = foo_cmds,

.o_ncmds = ARRAY_SIZE(foo_cmds),

};
