What is the name of the runtime library which implements Linux network interfaces, like sockets, tuntaps, netlink, etc…? For example when I create an UDP socket and make an ioctl call to fetch network interface info, which library actually implements that call? What are the corresponding *.so files on most linux dstirbutions?
These are c library calls, and as such are in the libc library.
