DESCRIPTION
       The  genl  utility  provides  a  simple frontend to the generic netlink
       library. Although it's designed to support multiple  OBJECTs,  for  now
       only  the  ctrl object is available, which is used to query the generic
       netlink controller.

       help   This command just prints a help text for the ctrl object.
       list   Show the registered netlink users.
       monitor
              Listen for generic netlink notifications.
       get    Query the controller for a given user, identified either by name
              or id.
