Also attributes can be defined optional + * thus avoiding the transmission of unnecessary empty data blocks. + * Special nested attributes allow for more complex data structures to + * be transmitted, e.g. trees, lists, etc. + * + * While not required, netlink attributes typically follow the family + * header of a netlink message and must be properly aligned to NLA_ALIGNTO: + * @code + * +----------------+- - -+---------------+- - -+------------+- - -+ + * | Netlink Header | Pad | Family Header | Pad | Attributes | Pad | + * +----------------+- - -+---------------+- - -+------------+- - -+ + * @endcode + * + * The actual attributes are chained together each separately aligned to + * NLA_ALIGNTO.
