What is the best way to use netlink from C++?
What is the best way to send and receive netlink messages from userspace in C++? I don't want to use C. I'm wanting to connect with the inet_diag module.

"There is no best, you pick the one most suitable for the task at hand." Possible ways:
- DIY construction of NL messages
- Aided construction with libmnl
- libnl3, but the API seems more complex than needed
