From 8f4c1f9b049df3be11090f1c2c4738700302acae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Graf Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 14:44:36 +0200 Subject: [NETLINK]: Introduce nested and byteorder flag to netlink attribute This change allows the generic attribute interface to be used within the netfilter subsystem where this flag was initially introduced. The byte-order flag is yet unused, it's intended use is to allow automatic byte order convertions for all atomic types. Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf Signed-off-by: David S.
