* @ingroup cache
* @defgroup cache_api Cache Implementation
* @brief
*
* @par 1) Cache Definition
* @code
* struct nl_cache_ops my_cache_ops = {
* .co_name = "route/link",
* .co_protocol = NETLINK_ROUTE,
* .co_hdrsize = sizeof(struct ifinfomsg),
* .co_obj_ops = &my_obj_ops,
* };
* @endcode
*
* @par 2)
* @code
* // The simplest way to fill a cache is by providing a request-update
* // function which must trigger a complete dump on the kernel-side of
* // whatever the cache covers.
* static int my_request_update(struct nl_cache *cache,
* struct nl_sock *socket)
* {
* // In this example, we request a full dump of the interface table
* return nl_rtgen_request(socket, RTM_GETLINK, AF_UNSPEC, NLM_F_DUMP);
* }
*
* // The resulting netlink messages sent back will be fed into a message
* // parser one at a time. The message parser has to extract all relevant
* // information from the message and create an object reflecting the
* // contents of the message and pass it on to the parser callback function
* // provide which will add the object to the cache.
* static int my_msg_parser(struct nl_cache_ops *ops, struct sockaddr_nl *who,
* struct nlmsghdr *nlh, struct nl_parser_param *pp)
* {

*
* @par 3) Notification based Updates
* @code
* // Caches can be kept up-to-date based on notifications if the kernel
* // sends out notifications whenever an object is added/removed/changed.
* //
* // It is trivial to support this, first a list of groups needs to be
* // defined which are required to join in order to receive all necessary
* // notifications. The groups are separated by address family to support
* // the common situation where a separate group is used for each address
* // family. If there is only one group, simply specify AF_UNSPEC.
* static struct nl_af_group addr_groups[] = {
* { AF_INET, RTNLGRP_IPV4_IFADDR },
* { AF_INET6, RTNLGRP_IPV6_IFADDR },
* { END_OF_GROUP_LIST },
* };
*
* // In order for the caching system to know the meaning of each message
* // type it requires a table which maps each supported message type to
* // a cache action, e.g. RTM_NEWADDR means address has been added or
* // updated, RTM_DELADDR means address has been removed.
* static struct nl_cache_ops rtnl_addr_ops = {
* ...
* .co_msgtypes = {
* { RTM_NEWADDR, NL_ACT_NEW, "new" },
* { RTM_DELADDR, NL_ACT_DEL, "del" },
* { RTM_GETADDR, NL_ACT_GET, "get" },
* END_OF_MSGTYPES_LIST,
* },
* .co_groups = addr_groups,
* };
*
* // It is now possible to keep the cache up-to-date using the cache manager.
* @endcode
