util: function to get local nl_pid used by netlink event socket
This value will be needed to set the src_pid when sending netlink messages to lldpad. It is part of the solution to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816465 Note that libnl's port generation algorithm guarantees that the nl_socket_get_local_port() will always be > 0 (since it is "getpid() + (n << 22>" where n is always < 1024), so it is okay to cast the uint32_t to int (thus allowing us to use -1 as an error sentinel).
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
