Change Details

This change intends to convert all kernel rtsock interactions in route(8) to Netlink. TODO: * implement route flushing via netlink * implement route monitor via netlink * implement multipath handling in RTM_GET * implement exact-match in RTM_GET

This change intends to convert all kernel rtsock interactions in route(8) to Netlink. Based on the `WITHOUT_NETLINK_SUPPORT` src.conf(5) variable, route(8) now fully operates either via Netlink or via rtsock/sysctl. The default (compile-time) is Netlink. The output for route delete/add/get/flush is targeted to be exactly the same (apart from some error handling cases). The output for the `route monitor` has been changed to improve readability and support netlink models. The current deficiencies: * exact-match (route -n get a.b.c.d/e) does not work * route monitor does not show the change originator (unless it's kernel).
