libmnl is a minimalistic user-space library for Netlink developers. There are a lot of common tasks involved in parsing, validating, and constructing both the Netlink header and TLVs that are repetitive and easy to get wrong. This library aims to provide simple helpers that allow you to re-use code and avoid re-inventing the wheel.
