+# netlink - netlink library for go #
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/vishvananda/netlink.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/vishvananda/netlink) [![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/vishvananda/netlink?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/vishvananda/netlink)
+
+The netlink package provides a simple netlink library for go. Netlink
+is the interface a user-space program in linux uses to communicate with
+the kernel. It can be used to add and remove interfaces, set ip addresses
+and routes, and configure ipsec. Netlink communication requires elevated
+privileges, so in most cases this code needs to be run as root. Since
+low-level netlink messages are inscrutable at best, the library attempts
+to provide an api that is loosely modeled on the CLI provided by iproute2.
+Actions like `ip link add` will be accomplished via a similarly named
+function like AddLink(). This library began its life as a fork of the
+netlink functionality in
+[docker/libcontainer](https://github.com/docker/libcontainer) but was
+heavily rewritten to improve testability, performance, and to add new
+functionality like ipsec xfrm handling.
+
+## Local Build and Test ##
+
+You can use go get command:
+
+    go get github.com/vishvananda/netlink
+
+Testing dependencies:
+
+    go get github.com/vishvananda/netns
+
+Testing (requires root):
+
+    sudo -E go test github.com/vishvananda/netlink
+
+## Examples ##
+
+Add a new bridge and add eth1 into it:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "fmt"
+    "github.com/vishvananda/netlink"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    la := netlink.NewLinkAttrs()
+    la.Name = "foo"
+    mybridge := &netlink.Bridge{LinkAttrs: la}
+    err := netlink.LinkAdd(mybridge)
+    if err != nil  {
+        fmt.Printf("could not add %s: %v\n", la.Name, err)
+    }
+    eth1, _ := netlink.LinkByName("eth1")
+    netlink.LinkSetMaster(eth1, mybridge)
+}
+
+```
+Note `NewLinkAttrs` constructor, it sets default values in structure. For now
+it sets only `TxQLen` to `-1`, so kernel will set default by itself. If you're
+using simple initialization(`LinkAttrs{Name: "foo"}`) `TxQLen` will be set to
+`0` unless you specify it like `LinkAttrs{Name: "foo", TxQLen: 1000}`.
+
+Add a new ip address to loopback:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+    "github.com/vishvananda/netlink"
+)
+
+func main() {
+    lo, _ := netlink.LinkByName("lo")
+    addr, _ := netlink.ParseAddr("169.254.169.254/32")
+    netlink.AddrAdd(lo, addr)
+}
+
+```
+
+## Future Work ##
+
+Many pieces of netlink are not yet fully supported in the high-level
+interface. Aspects of virtually all of the high-level objects don't exist.
+Many of the underlying primitives are there, so its a matter of putting
+the right fields into the high-level objects and making sure that they
+are serialized and deserialized correctly in the Add and List methods.
+
+There are also a few pieces of low level netlink functionality that still
+need to be implemented. Routing rules are not in place and some of the
+more advanced link types. Hopefully there is decent structure and testing
+in place to make these fairly straightforward to add.
