37 * @code
38 * // The simplest way to fill a cache is by providing a request-update
39 * // function which must trigger a complete dump on the kernel-side of
40 * // whatever the cache covers.
41 * static int my_request_update(struct nl_cache *cache,
42 * struct nl_sock *socket)

48 * // The resulting netlink messages sent back will be fed into a message
49 * // parser one at a time. The message parser has to extract all relevant
50 * // information from the message and create an object reflecting the
51 * // contents of the message and pass it on to the parser callback function
52 * // provide which will add the object to the cache.
