2023-11-30docs: netlink: link to family documentations from spec infoJakub Kicinski
To increase the chances of people finding the rendered docs add a link to specs.rst and index.rst. Add a label in the generated index.rst and while at it adjust the title a little bit.

2023-01-31docs: netlink: add a starting guide for working with specsJakub Kicinski
We have a bit of documentation about the internals of Netlink and the specs, but really the goal is for most people to not worry about those. Add a practical guide for beginners who want to poke at the specs. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2022-08-23docs: netlink: basic introduction to NetlinkJakub Kicinski
Provide a bit of a brain dump of netlink related information as documentation. Hopefully this will be useful to people trying to navigate implementing YAML based parsing in languages we won't be able to help with. I started writing this doc while trying to figure out what it'd take to widen the applicability of YAML to good old rtnl, but the doc grew beyond that as it usually happens. In all honesty a lot of this information is new to me as I usually follow the "copy an existing example, drink to forget" process of writing netlink user space, so reviews will be much appreciated.
