How much deprecated?

The PF_NKE protocol has been deprecated. It was actually implemented in an NKE manager kext. The recommended way of communicating between user space and a kext is to use a PF_SYSTEM socket with the protocol "SYSPROTO_CONTROL". See sys/kern_control.h for more inform

Could it be possible to have a clear and official statement on this? Because I just don't understand what the official recommendation is.

* In NKE.PDF, AFAIK, the tcplogger sample code is making use of PF_NKE in its userland part. And this is said to be the deprecated part. So the only available documentation is no more correct.

* In sys/kern_control.h, the whole API is bracketed by a #ifdef __APPLE_API_UNSTABLE. And this is the suggested solution. And there is no documentation on it or sample code.
