The family struct is auto-generated for new families, support
use of the sock_priv_* mechanism added in commit a731132424
("genetlink: introduce per-sock family private storage").
For example if the family wants to use struct sk_buff as its
private struct (unrealistic but just for illustration), it would
add to its spec:
kernel-family:
headers: [ "linux/skbuff.h" ]
sock-priv: struct sk_buff
ynl-gen-c will declare the appropriate priv size and hook
in function prototypes to be implemented by the family.

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 Restructured Text 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.
