<h1>Netns management overview<a class="headerlink" href="#netns-management-overview" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>Pyroute2 provides basic namespaces management support.
Here’s a quick overview of typical netns tasks and
related pyroute2 tools.</p>
<div class="section" id="move-an-interface-to-a-namespace">
<h2>Move an interface to a namespace<a class="headerlink" href="#move-an-interface-to-a-namespace" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Though this task is managed not via <cite>netns</cite> module, it
should be mentioned here as well. To move an interface
to a netns, one should provide IFLA_NET_NS_FD nla in
a set link RTNL request. The nla is an open FD number,
that refers to already created netns. The pyroute2
library provides also a possibility to specify not a
FD number, but a netns name as a string. In that case
the library will try to lookup the corresponding netns
in the standard location.</p>

<dd><p>NetNS is the IPRoute API with network namespace support.</p>
<p><strong>Why not IPRoute?</strong></p>
<p>The task to run netlink commands in some network namespace, being in
another network namespace, requires the architecture, that differs
too much from a simple Netlink socket.</p>
<p>NetNS starts a proxy process in a network namespace and uses
<cite>multiprocessing</cite> communication channels between the main and the proxy
processes to route all <cite>recv()</cite> and <cite>sendto()</cite> requests/responses.</p>
<p><strong>Any specific API calls?</strong></p>
<p>Nope. <cite>NetNS</cite> supports all the same, that <cite>IPRoute</cite> does, in the same
way. It provides full <cite>socket</cite>-compatible API and can be used in
poll/select as well.</p>
<p>The only difference is the <cite>close()</cite> call. In the case of <cite>NetNS</cite> it
is <strong>mandatory</strong> to close the socket before exit.</p>
<p><strong>NetNS and IPDB</strong></p>
<p>It is possible to run IPDB with NetNS:</p>

all, but it is required to have a reasonable network
namespace support.</p>

<p>The <cite>NSPopen</cite> class was intended to be a drop-in replacement
for the <cite>Popen</cite> class, but there are still some important
differences.</p>
<p>The <cite>NSPopen</cite> object implicitly spawns a child python process
to be run in the background in a network namespace. The target
process specified as the argument of the <cite>NSPopen</cite> will be
started in its turn from this child. Thus all the fd numbers
of the running <cite>NSPopen</cite> object are meaningless in the context
of the main process. Trying to operate on them, one will get
‘Bad file descriptor’ in the best case or a system call working
on a wrong file descriptor in the worst case. A possible
solution would be to transfer file descriptors between the
<cite>NSPopen</cite> object and the main process, but it is not implemented
yet.</p>
<p>The process’ diagram for <cite>NSPopen(‘test’, [‘ip’, ‘ad’])</cite>:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>+---------------------+ +--------------+ +------------+
| main python process |<--->| child python |<--->| netns test |
| NSPopen() | | Popen() | | $ ip ad |
+---------------------+ +--------------+ +------------+
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>As a workaround for the issue with file descriptors, some
additional methods are available on file objects <cite>stdin</cite>,
<cite>stdout</cite> and <cite>stderr</cite>. E.g., one can run fcntl calls:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">fcntl</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">F_GETFL</span>
<span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">pyroute2</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">NSPopen</span>
<span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">subprocess</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">PIPE</span>
<span class="n">proc</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">NSPopen</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'test'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">'my_program'</span><span class="p">],</span> <span class="n">stdout</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">PIPE</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="n">flags</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">proc</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">stdout</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">fcntl</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">F_GETFL</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>In that way one can use <cite>fcntl()</cite>, <cite>ioctl()</cite>, <cite>flock()</cite> and
<cite>lockf()</cite> calls.</p>
<p>Another additional method is <cite>release()</cite>, which can be used to
explicitly stop the proxy process and release all the resources.</p>
<dl class="method">
<dt id="pyroute2.netns.process.proxy.NSPopen.release">
<code class="descname">release</code><span class="sig-paren">(</span><span class="sig-paren">)</span><a class="headerlink" href="#pyroute2.netns.process.proxy.NSPopen.release" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>Explicitly stop the proxy process and release all the
resources. The <cite>NSPopen</cite> object can not be used after
the <cite>release()</cite> call.</p>
