env: extend the use of event listen



struct sockaddr_nl {
    sa_family_t     nl_family;  /* AF_NETLINK */
    unsigned short  nl_pad;     /* Zero */
    pid_t           nl_pid;     /* Port ID */
    __u32           nl_groups;  /* Multicast groups mask */
};

nl_pid is the unicast address of netlink socket.  It's always 0
if the destination is in the kernel.  For a user-space process,
nl_pid is usually the PID of the process owning the destination
socket.  However, nl_pid identifies a netlink socket, not a
process.  If a process owns several netlink sockets, then nl_pid
can be equal to the process ID only for at most one socket.
There are two ways to assign nl_pid to a netlink socket.  If the
application sets nl_pid before calling bind(), then it is up to
the application to make sure that nl_pid is unique.  If the
application sets it to 0, the kernel takes care of assigning it.
The kernel assigns the process ID to the first netlink socket the
process opens and assigns a unique nl_pid to every netlink socket
that the process subsequently creates.
