The libnl library itself is probably the best example that I have seen. At
it's core it is basically just regular Netlink with an extra layer of
abstraction, i.e. a new header between the Netlink header and the payload.
Also, if you are still looking for in-kernel examples here are two _very_
simple ones which might help:
* net/netlabel/netlabel_unlabeled.c:netlbl_unlabel_accept()
This function reads a single attribute, NLBL_UNLABEL_A_ACPTFLG, sent
from user space and acts on the value.
* net/netlabel/netlabel_unlabeled.c:netlbl_unlabel_list()
This function generates a reply message with a single attribute,
NLBL_UNLABEL_A_ACPTFLG, in response to a request message.
