👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Bestie. Sit down. Get a snack. 🍓 There are so many related man pages and I am not skipping a single one, because we don't do that here. The kernel file to know about is ./include/net/netlink.h, and then the whole extended friend group:

Yeah. All of them. Every single one. I counted twice, we're not losing anybody on my watch. 💀👑
