GENL(8) Linux GENL(8)
genl - generic netlink utility frontend
genl [ -s[tatistics] ] [ -d[etails] ] [ -r[aw] ] OBJECT
genl { -V[ersion] | -h[elp] }
OBJECT := { ctrl CTRL_OPTS }
CTRL_OPTS := { help | list | monitor | get PARMS }
PARMS := { name NAME | id ID }
The genl utility provides a simple frontend to the generic
netlink library. Although it's designed to support multiple
OBJECTs, for now only the ctrl object is available, which is used
to query the generic netlink controller.
ctrl
The generic netlink controller can be queried in various ways:
help This command just prints a help text for the ctrl object.
list Show the registered netlink users.
monitor
Listen for generic netlink notifications.
get Query the controller for a given user, identified either
by name or id.
genl supports the following options.
-h, -help
Show summary of options.
-V, -Version
Show version of program.
-s, -stats, -statistics
Show object statistics.
-d, -details
Show object details.
-r, -raw
Dump raw output only.
