* lib: add const-ness to appropriate parameters in addr, attr, dataRohan Joyce2015-02-161-10/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the signatures of some functions to allow const pointers in places where a const qualified pointer is enough access for what the function does (e.g. nla_get_u8). It also changes some functions that take a pointer parameter and return a pointer derived from it to use the strchr idiom. This is not exhaustive in terms of places where const can be added, but it's a decent chunk that should not make the external api any more restrictive. http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/libnl/2015-February/001826.html Signed-off-by: Rohan Joyce <rojoyce.github@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Haller <thaller@redhat.com>
* Move private header files to <netlink-private/*>Thomas Graf2013-01-241-1/+1

* Fix types-related warnings based on clang diagnosticsКоренберг Марк2012-06-131-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. Fix some places where unsigned value compared < 0 2. Fix obsolete %Z specifier to more portable %z 3. Some erroneous types substitution 4. nl_msec2str() - 64-bit msec is now properly used, Only safe changes. I mean int <--> uint32_t and signed/unsigned fixes. Some functinos require size_t argument instead of int, but changes of signatures of that functions is terrible thing. Also, I do not pretend for a full list of fixes. Just to shut up clang -Wall -Wextra One more thing. ifindex. I don't change that because changes will be too big for simple fix.
* doc: documentation restructuringThomas Graf2012-05-101-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | - changes the modules hierarchy to better represent the set of libaries - list the header file that needs to be included - remove examples/doc from api ref that is included in the guide - add references to the guide - fix doxygen api linking for version 1.8.0 - readd doxygen mainpage to config file - fix a couple of doxygen doc bugs
* restructure module documentation orderThomas Graf2008-12-101-1/+1
| | | | split hiearchy into one top level module per library
* Remove obsolete nla_get_addr() and nla_get_data()Thomas Graf2008-05-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Replaces obsolete calls to nla_get_addr() and nla_get_data() with nl_addr_alloc_attr() respectively nl_data_alloc_attr(). Also fixes missing error handling while parsing routing multipath configuration.
* Thread-safe error handlingThomas Graf2008-05-141-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order for the interface to become more thread safe, the error handling was revised to no longer depend on a static errno and error string buffer. This patch converts all error paths to return a libnl specific error code which can be translated to a error message using nl_geterror(int error). The functions nl_error() and nl_get_errno() are therefore obsolete. This change required various sets of function prototypes to be changed in order to return an error code, the most prominent are: struct nl_cache *foo_alloc_cache(...); changed to: int foo_alloc_cache(..., struct nl_cache **); struct nl_msg *foo_build_request(...); changed to: int foo_build_request(..., struct nl_msg **); struct foo *foo_parse(...); changed to: int foo_parse(..., struct foo **); This pretty much only leaves trivial allocation functions to still return a pointer object which can still return NULL to signal out of memory. This change is a serious API and ABI breaker, sorry!
