Netlink handler class

This projects implements a class called Netlink to create a C++ API to handle requests and responses through the Netlink protocol. Behind the main class (Netlink.class.hpp) reside different classes, which are specific handlers to execute commands and eventually read responses from the kernel. This relation is implemented following the Pattern Strategy.
The way netlink is used is basic and the code does not implement external library as libnl or libmnl - it just uses socket based on the Netlink protocol.

  1. Documentation You can build doxygen documentation by running doxy.sh script in doxygen directory.
    cd doxygen  
    bash doxy.sh

After that, you can browse the files inside the docs directory, or open a http server on localhost to browse files - just as an example:

    cd doxygen/docs/html
    python3 -m http.server

will open a webserver on your localhost, port 8000.
