Each connector message can include one or more w1_netlink_msg with zero of more attached w1_netlink_cmd messages. Each connector message can include one or more w1_netlink_msg with

Currently replies to userspace commands are only generated for read
command request. One reply is generated exactly for one w1_netlink_cmd
read request. Replies are not combined when sent - i.e. typical reply
messages looks like the following:
Currently replies to userspace commands are only generated for read command request.
One reply is generated exactly for one w1_netlink_cmd read request.
Replies are not combined when sent - i.e. typical reply messages looks like the following:

w1_netlink_cmd.len = cmd->len; w1_netlink_cmd.len = cmd->len;
Replies to W1_LIST_MASTERS should send a message back to the userspace
which will contain list of all registered master ids in the following
format:
cn_msg (CN_W1_IDX.CN_W1_VAL as id, len is equal to sizeof(struct
w1_netlink_msg) plus number of masters multipled by 4)
w1_netlink_msg (type: W1_LIST_MASTERS, len is equal to
number of masters multiplied by 4 (u32 size))
id0 ... idN
Each message is at most 4k in size, so if number of master devices
exceeds this, it will be split into several messages,
cn.seq will be increased for each one.
W1 search and alarm search commands.
request:
[cn_msg]
[w1_netlink_msg type = W1_MASTER_CMD
id is equal to the bus master id to use for searching]
[w1_netlink_cmd cmd = W1_CMD_SEARCH or W1_CMD_ALARM_SEARCH]
reply:
[cn_msg, ack = 1 and increasing, 0 means the last message,
seq is equal to the request seq]
[w1_netlink_msg type = W1_MASTER_CMD]
[w1_netlink_cmd cmd = W1_CMD_SEARCH or W1_CMD_ALARM_SEARCH
len is equal to number of IDs multiplied by 8]
[64bit-id0 ... 64bit-idN]
Length in each header corresponds to the size of the data behind it, so
w1_netlink_cmd->len = N * 8; where N is number of IDs in this message.
Can be zero.
w1_netlink_msg->len = sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd) + N * 8;
