// The first step is to retrieve a list of all available interfaces within // the kernel and put them into a cache. struct nl_cache *cache = rtnl_link_alloc_cache(nl_handle); // In a second step, a specific link may be looked up by either interface // index or interface name. struct rtnl_link *link = rtnl_link_get_by_name(cache, "lo"); // rtnl_link_get_by_name() is the short version for translating the // interface name to an interface index first like this: int ifindex = rtnl_link_name2i(cache, "lo"); struct rtnl_link *link = rtnl_link_get(cache, ifindex); // After successful usage, the object must be given back to the cache rtnl_link_put(link);

Builds a new netlink message requesting a change of link attributes. The netlink message header isn't fully equipped with all relevant fields and must be sent out via nl_send_auto_complete() or supplemented as needed. old must point to a link currently configured in the kernel and tmpl must contain the attributes to be changed set via rtnl_link_set_*
functions.
