14 * @defgroup cache_mngr Manager
15 * @brief Helps keeping caches up to date.
17 * The purpose of a cache manager is to keep track of caches and
18 * automatically receive event notifications to keep the caches
19 * up to date with the kernel state. Each manager has exactly one
20 * netlink socket assigned which limits the scope of each manager
21 * to exactly one netlink family. Therefore all caches committed
22 * to a manager must be part of the same netlink family. Due to the
23 * nature of a manager, it is not possible to have a cache maintain
24 * two instances of the same cache type. The socket is subscribed
25 * to the event notification group of each cache and also put into
26 * non-blocking mode. Functions exist to poll() on the socket to
27 * wait for new events to be received.

53 * // provide the caches added to the manager.
54 * mngr = nl_cache_mngr_alloc(NETLINK_ROUTE, NL_AUTO_PROVIDE);

59 * struct nl_cache *cache;

69 * // Give the manager the ability to receive updates, will call poll()
