2014-06-04netsniff-ng: proto_nlmsg: Add notice about nlmsg pid fieldTobias Klauser1-1/+7
The port id field of the netlink message header does not necessarily indicate the PID of the receiving process [1] (e.g. in case of multithreaded applications or using multiple sockets). Mention this in a comment. [1] http://www.carisma.slowglass.com/~tgr/libnl/doc/core.html#core_netlink_fundamentals Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
