- Backwards Compatibility:
If userspace wants to determine whether RTM_SETLINK supports the
IFLA_IF_NETNSID property they should first send an RTM_GETLINK request
with IFLA_IF_NETNSID on lo. If either EACCESS is returned or the reply
does not include IFLA_IF_NETNSID userspace should assume that
IFLA_IF_NETNSID is not supported on this kernel.
If the reply does contain an IFLA_IF_NETNSID property userspace
can send an RTM_SETLINK with a IFLA_IF_NETNSID property. If they receive
EOPNOTSUPP then the kernel does not support the IFLA_IF_NETNSID property
with RTM_SETLINK. Userpace should then fallback to other means.
To retain backwards compatibility the kernel will first check whether a
IFLA_NET_NS_PID or IFLA_NET_NS_FD property has been passed. If either
one is found it will be used to identify the target network namespace.
This implies that users who do not care whether their running kernel
supports IFLA_IF_NETNSID with RTM_SETLINK can pass both
IFLA_NET_NS_{FD,PID} and IFLA_IF_NETNSID referring to the same network
namespace.
- Security:
Callers must have CAP_NET_ADMIN in the owning user namespace of the
target network namespace.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
