"The libnl suite is a collection of libraries providing APIs to netlink protocol
based Linux kernel interfaces.[..]  It was designed to be a more flexible successor
to ioctl to provide mainly networking related kernel configuration and monitoring interfaces"

Hello All,

I am new to using powertop and development in opensource as a whole. When I
went through the earlier versions I found that libnl was not needed in the
older versions. Can anyone please tell me what is functionality that libnl
adds to powertop? Is it possible to build v2.1 without using libnl?
