I think it looks like a great start!  Then you’ll need to provide
bindings to ‘sendmsg’ to actually make use of the data structures you
defined (Guile itself already provides ‘sendmsg’ but it’s too high-level
to be usable with netlink sockets, AFAICS.)

We can chat on IRC if you have any questions or comments.

Thank you for working on it!
