struct nl_msg* flnl_lookup_build_request	(	struct flnl_request *	req,
		int	flags
	)			[read]

Parameters:

	req	Requested match.
	flags	additional netlink message flags

Builds a new netlink message requesting a change of link attributes. The netlink message header isn't fully equipped with all relevant fields and must be sent out via nl_send_auto_complete() or supplemented as needed. old must point to a link currently configured in the kernel and tmpl must contain the attributes to be changed set via rtnl_link_set_* functions.

Returns:

New netlink message

Note:

Not all attributes can be changed, see Changeable Attributes for more details.

int flnl_lookup	(	struct nl_handle *	handle,
		struct flnl_request *	req,
		struct nl_cache *	cache
	)

Parameters:

	handle	Netlink handle.
	req	Lookup request object.
	cache	Cache for result.
