 * Netlink Attributes Construction/Parsing Interface
 * @par 0) Introduction
 * Netlink attributes are chained together following each other:
 * @code
 *    <------- nla_total_size(payload) ------->
 *    <---- nla_attr_size(payload) ----->
 *   +----------+- - -+- - - - - - - - - +- - -+-------- - -
 *   |  Header  | Pad |     Payload      | Pad |  Header
 *   +----------+- - -+- - - - - - - - - +- - -+-------- - -
 *                     <- nla_len(nla) ->      ^
 *   nla_data(nla)----^                        |
 *   nla_next(nla)-----------------------------'
 * @endcode
 *
 * @par
 * The attribute header and payload must be aligned properly:
 * @code
 *  <------- NLA_HDRLEN ------> <-- NLA_ALIGN(payload)-->
 * +---------------------+- - -+- - - - - - - - - -+- - -+
 * |        Header       | Pad |     Payload       | Pad |
 * |   (struct nlattr)   | ing |                   | ing |
 * +---------------------+- - -+- - - - - - - - - -+- - -+
 *  <-------------- nlattr->nla_len -------------->
 * @endcode
 *
 * @par Nested TLVs:
 * Nested TLVs are an array of TLVs nested into another TLV. This can be useful
 * to allow subsystems to have their own formatting rules without the need to
 * make the underlying layer be aware of it. It can also be useful to transfer
 * arrays, lists and flattened trees.
