When I started programming, I had same question. Where is the
documentation...

man pages are poor - incomplete

try:

http://qos.ittc.ku.edu/netlink/html/

That paper talks about rtnetlink messages in order to modify routing
table, but creating of qdiscs, filters and classes is similar. Ale my
knowledge is from reading tc utility source :-(
