1//! Low-level Linux network device access
2//!
3//! The methods in this module take a socket's file descriptor to communicate
4//! with the kernel in their ioctl call:
5//! - glibc uses an `AF_UNIX`, `AF_INET`, or `AF_INET6` socket. The address
6//! family itself does not matter and glibc tries the next address family if
7//! socket creation with one fails.
8//! - Android (bionic) uses an `AF_INET` socket.
9//! - Both create the socket with `SOCK_DGRAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC` type/flag.
10//! - The [manual pages] specify that the ioctl calls “can be used on any
11//! socket's file descriptor regardless of the family or type”.
