/**
* @ingroup nl
* @defgroup socket Socket
* @brief Handle representing a netlink socket.
*
* The socket is represented in a structure called the netlink handle,
* besides the socket, it stores various settings and values related
* to the socket. Every socket handle has a mandatory association with
* a set of callbacks which can be used to modify the behaviour when
* sending/receiving data from the socket.
*
* @par Socket Attributes
* - \b Local \b Port: The local port is a netlink port identifying the
* local endpoint. It is used as source address for outgoing messages
* and will be addressed in replies. It must therefore be unique among
* all userspace applications. When the socket handle is allocated, a
* unique port number is generated automatically in the form of 22 bits
* Process Identifier + 10 bits Arbitary Number. Therefore the library
* is capable of generating 1024 unique local port numbers for every
* process. If more sockets are required, the application has to manage
* port numbers itself using nl_socket_set_local_port().
* - \b Group \b Subscriptions: A socket can subscribe to any number of
* multicast groups. It will then receive a copy of all messages sent
* to one of the groups. This method is mainly used for event notification.
* Prior to kernel 2.6.14, the group subscription was done via bitmask
* which limited to a total number of groups of 32. With 2.6.14 a new
* method was added based on continous identifiers which supports an
* arbitary number of groups. Both methods are supported, see
* nl_join_groups() respectively nl_socket_add_membership() and
* nl_socket_drop_membership().
* - \b Peer \b Port: The peer port is a netlink port identifying the
* peer's endpoint. If no peer port is specified, the kernel will try to
* autobind to a socket of the specified netlink family automatically.
* This is very common as typically only one listening socket exists
* on the kernel side. The peer port can be modified using
* nl_socket_set_peer_port().
* - \b Peer \b Groups:
* - \b File \b Descriptor: The file descriptor of the socket, it can be
* accessed via nl_socket_get_fd() to change socket options or monitor
* activity using poll()/select().
* - \b Protocol: Once connected, the socket is bound to stick to one
* netlink family. This field is invisible, it is maintained automatically.
* (See nl_connect())
* - \b Next \b Sequence \b Number: Next available sequence number to be used
* for the next message being sent out. (Initial value: UNIX time when the
* socket was allocated.) Sequence numbers can be used via
* nl_socket_use_seq().
* - \b Expected \b Sequence \b Number: Expected sequence number in the next
* message received from the socket. (Initial value: Equal to next sequence
* number.)
* - \b Callbacks \b Configuration:
*
* @par 1) Creating the netlink handle
* @code
* struct nl_handle *handle;
*
* // Allocate and initialize a new netlink handle
* handle = nl_handle_alloc();
*
* // Use nl_socket_get_fd() to fetch the file description, for example to
* // put a socket into non-blocking i/o mode.
* fcntl(nl_socket_get_fd(handle), F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);
* @endcode
*
* @par 2) Group Subscriptions
* @code
* // Event notifications are typically sent to multicast addresses which
* // represented by groups. Join a group to f.e. receive link notifications.
* nl_socket_add_membership(handle, RTNLGRP_LINK);
* @endcode
*
* @par 6) Cleaning up
* @code
* // Finally destroy the netlink handle
* nl_handle_destroy(handle);
* @endcode
