netlink Build Status GoDoc Go Report Card

Package netlink provides low-level access to Linux netlink sockets. MIT Licensed.

Why?

A number of netlink packages are already available for Go, but I wasn't able to find one that aligned with what I wanted in a netlink package:

  • Simple, idiomatic API
  • Well tested
  • Well documented
  • Makes use of Go best practices
  • Doesn't need root to work

My goal for this package is to use it as a building block for the creation of other netlink protocol family packages.
