DESCRIPTION
       The genl utility provides a simple frontend to the generic netlink
       library. Although it's designed to support multiple OBJECTs, for now
       only the ctrl object is available, which is used to query the generic
       netlink controller.

   ctrl
       The generic netlink controller can be queried in various ways:

       help   This command just prints a help text for the ctrl object.

       list   Show the registered netlink users.

       monitor
	      Listen for generic netlink notifications.

       get    Query the controller for a given user, identified either by name
	      or id.
