It is sending via netlink directly. I have two packages (0 and 1) and each package has
two channels (0 and 1) on my system. If I convert it to command line, it would be
as below.

/home/root# ncsi_netlink -l 2 -m -a 0x01
Set cmd - ifindex 2, multi 1, mask 0x00000001

/home/root# ncsi_netlink -l 2 -m -b 0x03 -p 0
Set cmd - ifindex 2, package 0, channel -1, multi 1, mask 0x00000003

/home/root# ncsi_netlink -l 2 -m -b 0x00 -p 1
Set cmd - ifindex 2, package 1, channel -1, multi 1, mask 0x00000000

/home/root# ncsi_netlink
Usage: ncsi_netlink COMMAND [OPTION]...
Send messages to the NCSI driver via Netlink (0.4)

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
COMMAND:
  -i, --info                 Display info for packages and channels
  -s, --set                  Force the usage of a certain package/channel combination
  -x, --clear                Clear the above setting
  -a, --package-mask MASK    Set package selection mask
  -b, --channel-mask MASK    Set channel selection mask
  -o, --cmd DATA0 [DATA1]... Send NC-SI command
  -d, --discovery            Request to discover packages and channels
  -k, --lookup               Look up channel id or name
  -u, --status               Display status
  -h, --help                 Print this help text

OPTION:
  -l, --ifindex INDEX        Specify the interface index
  -p, --package PACKAGE      Package number
  -c, --channel CHANNEL      Channel number (aka. port number)
  -n, --channel NAME         Channel name (aka. ncsiX)
  -m, --multi-mode           Set multi-mode

Example: ncsi_netlink -l 2 --info
