* Attribute Construction:
- * nla_reserve(skb, type, len) reserve skb tailroom for an attribute
+ * nla_reserve(skb, type, len) reserve room for an attribute
+ * nla_reserve_nohdr(skb, len) reserve room for an attribute w/o hdr
* nla_put(skb, type, len, data) add attribute to skb
+ * nla_put_nohdr(skb, len, data) add attribute w/o hdr
*
* Attribute Construction for Basic Types:
* nla_put_u8(skb, type, value) add u8 attribute to skb
* nla_next(nla, remaining) get next netlink attribute
* nla_validate() validate a stream of attributes
* nla_find() find attribute in stream of attributes
+ * nla_find_nested() find attribute in nested attributes
* nla_parse() parse and validate stream of attrs
* nla_parse_nested() parse nested attribuets
* nla_for_each_attr() loop over all attributes
