Description
** I am Still Adding Content to this Course** - Last Updated: 11 Oct 2020
Welcome to the Linux Kernel Programming world! This is the course on Netlink Sockets in which I have covered Netlink Sockets in Detail which is a kernel facility provided to userspace applications to carry out bidirectional IPC with kernel space. In this course, We shall learn how Netlink Sockets can be used to exchange Netlink Messages between Kernel and Userspace.
This Course could also be your first step towards entering the kernel programming world !! This is a good starting point for those who will be writing kernel code for the first time. We shall be writing lots of lots of kernel and userspace code to understand Netlink Based communication. Need-less to say you should be good with C programming.
