 * @defgroup cache_mngr Manager
 * @brief Helps keeping caches up to date.
 *
 * The purpose of a cache manager is to keep track of caches and
 * automatically receive event notifications to keep the caches
 * up to date with the kernel state. Each manager has exactly one
 * netlink socket assigned which limits the scope of each manager
 * to exactly one netlink family. Therefore all caches committed
 * to a manager must be part of the same netlink family. Due to the
 * nature of a manager, it is not possible to have a cache maintain
 * two instances of the same cache type. The socket is subscribed
 * to the event notification group of each cache and also put into
 * non-blocking mode. Functions exist to poll() on the socket to
 * wait for new events to be received.
