Feature #302
closedbatctl netlink/debugfs
0%
Description
batcl-2016.4 and alfred-2016.4 contains code for accessing some value via debugfs or better via netlink. It will be nice to have this portion of code located within a library so that applications which need some information from the debug area can use the library instead of write the whole code.

Feel free to propose a stable api and implement it
PS: You should access the stuff via the generic netlink (libnl-genl) api. The debugfs files are deprecated and are only supported by batctl/alfred to have an easier migration period.

If I have a look to some other components, there is an include file as nl80211.h under /usr/include/linux.
I think that it will be nice to install batman_adv.h under this location.
For the first time I can of course copy it to my devel directory.

This directory is for the linux header files. And newer linux kernels will install this file. I don't want to mess with the distribution files by just overwriting it.

Sorry but I have in the mean time a 768 Hours / week job. So I don't have time to write the library. I began but the live decided that I can't continue.

On reading the newest comments, I wanted to point you to libbatadv from the GLUON project, and only then realized that it was actually you who wrote that library. So I guess this is just a pointer for people coming to this ticket and looking for a solution.
