I need to obtain the real_dev
(f.e. ID) of the given VLAN-inteface.
I wrote some test snippet using libnl:
int main(void) {
struct nl_sock *sock;
struct nl_cache *cache;
char iface[] = "eno1.10";
//char iface[] = "eno1";
if (!(sock = nl_socket_alloc())) {
perror("nl_socket_alloc");
return -1;
}
if (nl_connect(sock, NETLINK_ROUTE) < 0) {
perror("nl_connect");
nl_socket_free( sock );
return -1;
}
if (rtnl_link_alloc_cache(sock, AF_UNSPEC, &cache) < 0) {
perror("rtnl_link_alloc_cache");
nl_socket_free( sock );
nl_close( sock );
return -1;
}
{
int ifindex;
struct rtnl_link *link = NULL;
if (!(ifindex = rtnl_link_name2i(cache, iface))) {
perror("rtnl_link_name2i");
return -1;
}
printf("ind: %d\n", ifindex);
if (!(link = rtnl_link_get(cache, ifindex))) {
perror("rtnl_link_get");
return -1;
}
if (rtnl_link_is_vlan(link)) {
puts("It's VLAN link");
/* alas it's not about the 'real' device */
printf("master: %d\n", rtnl_link_get_master(link));
} else
puts("It's 'real' link");
}
return 0;
}
So I have some interface ID and I can check if it's a VLAN-interface, but I have no idea how to obtain the interface the vlan is attached to. It seems that libnl's API does not provide such possibility.
Is there a way to obtain the VLAN's "parent" interface ID through the libnl or the native netlink API?
