class RTNL_API:
    '''
    `RTNL_API` should not be instantiated by itself. It is intended
    to be used as a mixin class. Following classes use `RTNL_API`:

    * `IPRoute` -- RTNL API to the current network namespace
    * `NetNS` -- RTNL API to another network namespace
    * `IPBatch` -- RTNL compiler
    * `ShellIPR` -- RTNL via standard I/O, runs IPRoute in a shell

    It is an old-school API, that provides access to rtnetlink as is.
    It helps you to retrieve and change almost all the data, available
    through rtnetlink::

        ipr.link('set', index=dev, state='down')

        from messages, and dict values are used to match the message.

            # get addresses for the 2nd interface
            ip.get_addr(index=2)

            # get addresses with IFA_LABEL == 'eth0'
            ip.get_addr(label='eth0')

            # get all the subnet addresses on the interface, identified
            # by broadcast address (should be explicitly specified upon
            # creation)
            ip.get_addr(index=2, broadcast='192.168.1.255')

        A custom predicate can be used as a filter::

            ip.get_addr(match=lambda x: x['index'] == 1)
        '''
        return self.addr('dump', family=family, match=match or kwarg)

    def get_rules(self, family=AF_UNSPEC, match=None, **kwarg):
        '''
        Get all rules. By default return all rules. To explicitly
        request the IPv4 rules use `family=AF_INET`.

        Example::
            ip.get_rules() # get all the rules for all families
            ip.get_rules(family=AF_INET6)  # get only IPv6 rules
        '''

        '''
        Get all routes. You can specify the table. There
        are up to 4294967295 routing classes (tables), and the kernel
        returns all the routes on each request. So the
        routine filters routes from full output. Note the number of
        tables is increased from 255 in Linux 2.6+.

        Example::

            ip.get_routes()  # get all the routes for all families
            ip.get_routes(family=AF_INET6)  # get only IPv6 routes
            ip.get_routes(table=254)  # get routes from 254 table

        The default family=255 is a hack. Despite the specs,
        the kernel returns only IPv4 routes for AF_UNSPEC family.
        But it returns all the routes for all the families if one
        uses an invalid value here. Hack but true. And let's hope
        the kernel team will not fix this bug.

        Vlan filters is another approach to support vlans in Linux.
        Before vlan filters were introduced, there was only one way
        to bridge vlans: one had to create vlan interfaces and
        then add them as ports::

                    +------+      +----------+
            net --> | eth0 | <--> | eth0.500 | <---+
                    +------+      +----------+     |
                                                   v
                    +------+                    +-----+
            net --> | eth1 |                    | br0 |
                    +------+                    +-----+
                                                   ^
                    +------+      +----------+     |
            net --> | eth2 | <--> | eth2.500 | <---+
                    +------+      +----------+

        It means that one has to create as many bridges, as there were
        vlans. Vlan filters allow to bridge together underlying interfaces
        and create vlans already on the bridge::

            # v500 label shows which interfaces have vlan filter

                    +------+ v500
            net --> | eth0 | <-------+
                    +------+         |
                                     v
                    +------+      +-----+    +---------+
            net --> | eth1 | <--> | br0 |<-->| br0v500 |
                    +------+      +-----+    +---------+
                                     ^
                    +------+ v500    |
            net --> | eth2 | <-------+
                    +------+

        In this example vlan 500 will be allowed only on ports `eth0` and
        `eth2`, though all three eth nics are bridged.

        Some example code::

            # create bridge
            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="br0",

            # attach a port

                           vlan_info={"vid": 500})

            # create vlan interface on the bridge
            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="br0v500",
                    kind="vlan",
                    link=ip.link_lookup(ifname="br0")[0],
                    vlan_id=500)

            # set all UP
            ip.link("set",
                    index=ip.link_lookup(ifname="br0")[0],
                    state="up")
            ip.link("set",
                    index=ip.link_lookup(ifname="br0v500")[0],
                    state="up")
            ip.link("set",
                    index=ip.link_lookup(ifname="eth0")[0],
                    state="up")

            # set IP address
            ip.addr("add",
                    index=ip.link_lookup(ifname="br0v500")[0],
                    address="172.16.5.2",
                    mask=24)

            Now all the traffic to the network 172.16.5.2/24 will go
            to vlan 500 only via ports that have such vlan filter.

        Required arguments for `vlan_filter()`: `index` and `vlan_info`.

        Vlan info dict::

            ip.vlan_filter('add',
                            index=<ifindex>,
                            vlan_info =
                            {'vid': <single or range>,
                            'pvid': <bool>,
                            'flags': int or list}

        More details:
            * kernel:Documentation/networking/switchdev.txt
            * pyroute2.netlink.rtnl.ifinfmsg:... vlan_info

        Setting PVID or specifying a range will specify the approprate flags.

        One can specify `flags` as int or as a list of flag names:
            * `master` == 0x1
            * `pvid` == 0x2
            * `untagged` == 0x4
            * `range_begin` == 0x8
            * `range_end` == 0x10
            * `brentry` == 0x20

        E.g.::

            {'vid': 20, 'pvid': true }

            # is equal to
            {'vid': 20, 'flags': ['pvid', 'untagged']}

            # is equal to
            {'vid': 20, 'flags': 6}

            # range
            {'vid': '100-199'}

        Required arguments for `vlan_filter()`: `index` and `vlan_tunnel_info`.

        Vlan tunnel info dict::

            ip.vlan_filter('add',
                          index=<ifindex>,
                          vlan_tunnel_info =
                          {'vid': <single or range>,
                          'id': <single or range>}

        vlan_tunnel_info appears to only use the 'range_begin' and 'range_end'
        flags from vlan_info. Specifying a range will automatically send the
        needed flags.

        Example::

            {'vid': 20, 'id: 20}
            {'vid': '200-299', 'id': '200-299'}

        The above directives can be combined as in the example::

          ip.vlan_filter('add',
                        index=7,
                        vlan_info={'vid': 600},
                        vlan_tunnel_info={'vid': 600, 'id': 600})

        Commands:

        **add**

        Add vlan filter to a bridge port. Example::

          ip.vlan_filter("add", index=2, vlan_info={"vid": 200})

        **del**

        Remove vlan filter from a bridge port. Example::

          ip.vlan_filter("del", index=2, vlan_info={"vid": 200})

                    ifname="test",
                    kind="dummy")

        The kind can be any of those supported by kernel. It can be
        `dummy`, `bridge`, `bond` etc. On modern kernels one can specify
        even interface index::

            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="br-test",
                    kind="bridge",

        ► geneve

        Create GENEVE tunnel::

            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="genx",
                    kind="geneve",

                    geneve_remote="172.16.0.101")

        Support for GENEVE over IPv6 is also included; use `geneve_remote6`
        to configure a remote IPv6 address.

        ► gre

        Create GRE tunnel::

            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="grex",
                    kind="gre",

                    gre_ttl=16)

        The keyed GRE requires explicit iflags/oflags specification::

            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="grex",
                    kind="gre",

                    gre_oflags=32)

        Support for GRE over IPv6 is also included; use `kind=ip6gre` and
        `ip6gre_` as the prefix for its values.

        ► ipip

        Create ipip tunnel::

            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="tun1",
                    kind="ipip",
                    ipip_local="172.16.0.1",

                    ipip_ttl=16)

        Support for sit and ip6tnl is also included; use `kind=sit` and `sit_`
        as prefix for sit tunnels, and `kind=ip6tnl` and `ip6tnl_` prefix for
        ip6tnl tunnels.

        ► macvlan

        Macvlan interfaces act like VLANs within OS. The macvlan driver
        provides an ability to add several MAC addresses on one interface,
        where every MAC address is reflected with a virtual interface in
        the system.

        In some setups macvlan interfaces can replace bridge interfaces,
        providing more simple and at the same time high-performance
        solution::

            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="mvlan0",
                    kind="macvlan",
                    link=ip.link_lookup(ifname="em1")[0],
                    macvlan_mode="private").commit()

        Several macvlan modes are available: "private", "vepa", "bridge",
        "passthru". Ususally the default is "vepa".

        ► macvtap

        Almost the same as macvlan, but creates also a character tap device::

            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="mvtap0",
                    kind="macvtap",
                    link=ip.link_lookup(ifname="em1")[0],
                    macvtap_mode="vepa").commit()

        Will create a device file `"/dev/tap%s" % index`

        ► tuntap

        Possible `tuntap` keywords:

        * `mode` — "tun" or "tap"
        * `uid` — integer
        * `gid` — integer
        * `ifr` — dict of tuntap flags (see ifinfmsg:... tuntap_data)

        Create a tap interface::

            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="tap0",
                    kind="tuntap",
                    mode="tap")

        Tun/tap interfaces are created using `ioctl()`, but the library
        provides a transparent way to manage them using netlink API.

        ► veth

        To properly create `veth` interface, one should specify
        `peer` also, since `veth` interfaces are created in pairs::

            # simple call
            ip.link("add", ifname="v1p0", kind="veth", peer="v1p1")

            # set up specific veth peer attributes
            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="v1p0",
                    kind="veth",
                    peer={"ifname": "v1p1",
                          "net_ns_fd": "test_netns"})

        ► vlan

        VLAN interfaces require additional parameters, `vlan_id` and
        `link`, where `link` is a master interface to create VLAN on::

            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="v100",
                    kind="vlan",
                    link=ip.link_lookup(ifname="eth0")[0],
                    vlan_id=100)

        There is a possibility to create also 802.1ad interfaces::

            # create external vlan 802.1ad, s-tag
            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="v100s",
                    kind="vlan",
                    link=ip.link_lookup(ifname="eth0")[0],
                    vlan_id=100,
                    vlan_protocol=0x88a8)

            # create internal vlan 802.1q, c-tag
            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="v200c",
                    kind="vlan",
                    link=ip.link_lookup(ifname="v100s")[0],
                    vlan_id=200,
                    vlan_protocol=0x8100)


        ► vrf

        VRF interfaces (see linux/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt)::

            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="vrf-foo",
                    kind="vrf",
                    vrf_table=42)

        ► vxlan

        VXLAN interfaces are like VLAN ones, but require a bit more
        parameters::

            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="vx101",
                    kind="vxlan",
                    vxlan_link=ip.link_lookup(ifname="eth0")[0],
                    vxlan_id=101,
                    vxlan_group='239.1.1.1',
                    vxlan_ttl=16)

        All possible vxlan parameters are listed in the module
        `pyroute2.netlink.rtnl.ifinfmsg:... vxlan_data`.

        ► ipoib

        IPoIB driver provides an ability to create several ip interfaces
        on one interface.
        IPoIB interfaces requires the following parameter:

        `link` : The master interface to create IPoIB on.

        The following parameters can also be provided:

        * `pkey`- Inifiniband partition key the ip interface is associated with
        * `mode`- Underlying infiniband transport mode. One
          of:  ['datagram' ,'connected']
        * `umcast`- If set(1), multicast group membership for this interface is
          handled by user space.

        Example::

            ip.link("add",
                    ifname="ipoib1",
                    kind="ipoib",
                    link=ip.link_lookup(ifname="ib0")[0],
                    pkey=10)

        **set**

        Set interface attributes::

            # get interface index
            x = ip.link_lookup(ifname="eth0")[0]
            # put link down
            ip.link("set", index=x, state="down")
            # rename and set MAC addr
            ip.link("set", index=x, address="00:11:22:33:44:55", name="bala")
            # set MTU and TX queue length
            ip.link("set", index=x, mtu=1000, txqlen=2000)
            # bring link up
            ip.link("set", index=x, state="up")

        Seting bridge or tunnel attributes require `kind` to be
        specified in order to properly encode `IFLA_LINKINFO`::

            ip.link("set",
                    index=x,
                    kind="bridge",
                    br_forward_delay=2000)

            ip.link("set",
                    index=x,
                    kind="gre",
                    gre_local="10.0.0.1",
                    gre_remote="10.1.0.103")

        Keyword "state" is reserved. State can be "up" or "down",
        it is a shortcut::

            state="up":   flags=1, mask=1
            state="down": flags=0, mask=0

        SR-IOV virtual function setup::

            # get PF index
            x = ip.link_lookup(ifname="eth0")[0]
            # setup macaddr
            ip.link("set",
                    index=x,                          # PF index
                    vf={"vf": 0,                      # VF index
                        "mac": "00:11:22:33:44:55"})  # address
            # setup vlan
            ip.link("set",
                    index=x,           # PF index
                    vf={"vf": 0,       # VF index
                        "vlan": 100})  # the simplest case
            # setup QinQ
            ip.link("set",
                    index=x,                           # PF index
                    vf={"vf": 0,                       # VF index
                        "vlan": [{"vlan": 100,         # vlan id
                                  "proto": 0x88a8},    # 802.1ad
                                 {"vlan": 200,         # vlan id
                                  "proto": 0x8100}]})  # 802.1q

        **update**

        Almost the same as `set`, except it uses different flags
        and message type. Mostly does the same, but in some cases
        differs. If you're not sure what to use, use `set`.

        **del**

        Destroy the interface::

            ip.link("del", index=ip.link_lookup(ifname="dummy0")[0])

        **dump**

        Dump info for all interfaces

        **get**

        Get specific interface info::

            ip.link("get", index=ip.link_lookup(ifname="br0")[0])

        Get extended attributes like SR-IOV setup::

            ip.link("get", index=3, ext_mask=1)

        So only keyword arguments (except of the command) will be accepted.

        "Swiss knife" for traffic control. With the method you can
        add, delete or modify qdiscs, classes and filters.

        * command -- add or delete qdisc, class, filter.
        * kind -- a string identifier -- "sfq", "htb", "u32" and so on.
        * handle -- integer or string

        Command can be one of ("add", "del", "add-class", "del-class",
        "add-filter", "del-filter") (see `commands` dict in the code).

        Handle notice: traditional iproute2 notation, like "1:0", actually
        represents two parts in one four-bytes integer::

            1:0    ->    0x10000
            1:1    ->    0x10001
            ff:0   ->   0xff0000
            ffff:1 -> 0xffff0001

        Target notice: if your target is a class/qdisc that applies an
        algorithm that can only apply to upstream traffic profile, but your
        keys variable explicitly references a match that is only relevant for
        upstream traffic, the kernel will reject the filter.  Unless you're
        dealing with devices like IMQs

        For pyroute2 tc() you can use both forms: integer like 0xffff0000
        or string like 'ffff:0000'. By default, handle is 0, so you can add
        simple classless queues w/o need to specify handle. Ingress queue
        causes handle to be 0xffff0000.

        So, to set up sfq queue on interface 1, the function call
        will be like that::

            ip = IPRoute()
            ip.tc("add", "sfq", 1)

        Instead of string commands ("add", "del"...), you can use also
        module constants, `RTM_NEWQDISC`, `RTM_DELQDISC` and so on::

            ip = IPRoute()
            flags = NLM_F_REQUEST | NLM_F_ACK | NLM_F_CREATE | NLM_F_EXCL

        It should be noted that "change", "change-class" and
        "change-filter" work like "replace", "replace-class" and
        "replace-filter", except they will fail if the node doesn't
        exist (while it would have been created by "replace"). This is
        not the same behaviour as with "tc" where "change" can be used
        to modify the value of some options while leaving the others
        unchanged. However, as not all entities support this
        operation, we believe the "change" commands as implemented
        here are more useful.

        Route operations.

        Keywords to set up rtmsg fields:

        * dst_len, src_len -- destination and source mask(see `dst` below)
        * tos -- type of service
        * table -- routing table
        * proto -- `redirect`, `boot`, `static` (see `rt_proto`)
        * scope -- routing realm
        * type -- `unicast`, `local`, etc. (see `rt_type`)

        `pyroute2/netlink/rtnl/rtmsg.py` rtmsg.nla_map:

        * table -- routing table to use (default: 254)
        * gateway -- via address
        * prefsrc -- preferred source IP address
        * dst -- the same as `prefix`
        * iif -- incoming traffic interface
        * oif -- outgoing traffic interface

        etc.

        One can specify mask not as `dst_len`, but as a part of `dst`,
        e.g.: `dst="10.0.0.0/24"`.

        Commands:

        **add**

        Example::

            ipr.route("add", dst="10.0.0.0/24", gateway="192.168.0.1")

        ...

        More `route()` examples. Blackhole route::

        `replace` creates a new one, if there is no such route yet.
        `append` allows to create an IPv6 multipath route.

        **del**

        Remove the route. The same syntax as for **add**.

        **get**

        Get route by spec.

        **dump**

        Dump all routes.
