Send multicast generic netlink message from userspace

[Veytser, Leonid - 0665 - MITLL]

Thomas, thanks for your reply. Your suggestion worked great.

I have a follow up question. What are the userspace equivalents of these functions?

genl_register_family
genl_register_ops
genl_register_mc_group

libnl seems to provide a way to resolve a custom genetic netlink family that was registered by a kernel module but is there a way to actually define a custom family/mc group from userspace?

Thanks,

Lenny
