netlink - ip route get from a different routing table -

why "ip route get" not provide table_id selector?

i using netlink routes routing table (table id 2) , want specific route , not dump entire routing table , filter in user land.

i looking @ "ip route" code example , seems not have ability using "ip route get" command. option seems dump entire routing table.

any ideas/pointers?

you can 'mark' packets in command.

as in, assuming table id 2 has fwmark 2 in ip rule, ip route ip/cidr mark 2.
