//! Low-level Linux network device access
//!
//! The methods in this module take a socket's file descriptor to communicate
//! with the kernel in their ioctl call:
//! - glibc uses an `AF_UNIX`, `AF_INET`, or `AF_INET6` socket.
//! The address family itself does not matter and glibc tries the next address
//! family if socket creation with one fails.
//! - Android (bionic) uses an `AF_INET` socket.
//! - Both create the socket with `SOCK_DGRAM|SOCK_CLOEXEC` type/flag.
//! - The [man-pages] specify, that the ioctl calls "can be used on any
//! socket's file descriptor regardless of the
//! family or type".
