The rtnetlink family names are set to rt-$name within the YAML but the files are called rt_$name. C codegen assumes that the generated file name will match the family. The use of dashes is in line with our general expectation that name properties in the spec use dashes not underscores (even tho, as Donald points out most genl families use underscores in the name). We have 3 un-ideal options to choose from: - accept the slight inconsistency with old families using _, or - accept the slight annoyance with all languages having to do s/-/_/ when looking up family ID, or - accept the inconsistency with all name properties in new YAML spec being separated with - and just the family name always using _. Pick option 1 and rename the rtnl spec files.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
