$ ./netdev
Select ifc ($ifindex; or 0 = dump; or -2 ntf check): 0

Notifications (watching veth pair getting added and deleted):

[0] = "basic",

[2] = "ndo-xmit",

[6] = "ndo-xmit-sg",
};
const char *netdev_xdp_act_str(enum netdev_xdp_act value)
{
value = ffs(value) - 1;

To keep things simple we used to include the uAPI header
in the kernel in the #include <linux/$family.h> format.
This works well enough, most of the genl families should
have headers in include/net/ so linux/$family.h ends up
referring to the uAPI header, anyway. And if it doesn't
no big deal, we'll just include more info than we need.
Unless that is there is a naming conflict. Someone recently
created include/linux/psp.h which will be a problem when
supporting the PSP protocol. (I'm talking about
work-in-progress patches, but it's just a proof that assuming
lack of name conflicts was overly optimistic.)

It is a good practice to state explicitly which are the required Python
packages needed in a particular project to run it. The most commonly
used way is to store them in the `requirements.txt` file*.
*URL: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/requirements-file-format/
Currently user needs to figure out himself that Python needs `PyYAML`
and `jsonschema` (and theirs requirements) packages to use the tool.
Add the `requirements.txt` for user convenience.
How to use it:
1) (optional) Create and activate empty virtual environment:
python3.X -m venv venv3X
source ./venv3X/bin/activate
2) Install all the required packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt
or
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
