Subject: Hi again, get the process id associated to a packet
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2009 01:43:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <92770c820901041643t1b460c2bj4323a60ffcfc2c94@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello again, im the insistent newbie :)

Im trying to get packet pid (process identifier) but netfilter and
nfnetlink functions aren't very clear:

I saw a reference to packed pid in:

 struct nlmsghdr
{
	__u32		nlmsg_len;	/* Length of message including header */
	__u16		nlmsg_type;	/* Message content */
	__u16		nlmsg_flags;	/* Additional flags */
	__u32		nlmsg_seq;	/* Sequence number */
	__u32		nlmsg_pid;	/* Sending process port ID */
};

but isnt easy to get struct nlmsghdr from netfilter packet, i saw some
could be but im not sure:

extern struct nlmsghdr *nfnl_get_msg_first(struct nfnl_handle *h,
					   const unsigned char *buf,
					   size_t len);

I don't know what is buf and len, i saw library code with ddd but
description is very short and i dont know how can i get buf and what
is exactly. Please someone can help me to get packet's pid? I tried
using netstat (-ntap | grep sourceport and destination ip)  but is too
slow.

Thanks for your time and sorry for my english.
