+ * not handled:
*
- * - At most a single dump is in progress at a time on a given nl_sock.
- *
- * - The nl_sock is not subscribed to any multicast groups.
- *
- * - The nl_sock is not used to send any other messages before the dump
- * operation is complete.
+ * - If 'sock' has been used to send a request (e.g. with nl_sock_send())
+ * whose response has not yet been received (e.g. with nl_sock_recv()).
+ * This is unusual: usually nl_sock_transact() is used to send a message
+ * and receive its reply all in one go.
*
* This function provides no status indication. An error status for the entire
* dump operation is provided when it is completed by calling nl_dump_done().
*
- * The caller is responsible for destroying 'request'. The caller must not
- * close 'sock' before it completes the dump operation (by calling
- * nl_dump_done()) or before nl_dump_next() returns false, whichever comes
- * first.
+ * The caller is responsible for destroying 'request'.
+ *
+ * The new 'dump' is independent of 'sock'. 'sock' and 'dump' may be destroyed
+ * in either order.
