/**

 * genl_register_family_with_ops - register a generic netlink family

 * @family: generic netlink family

 * @ops: operations to be registered

 * @n_ops: number of elements to register

 *

 * Registers the specified family and operations from the specified table.

 * Only one family may be registered with the same family name or identifier.

 *

 * The family id may equal GENL_ID_GENERATE causing an unique id to

 * be automatically generated and assigned.

 *

 * Either a doit or dumpit callback must be specified for every registered

 * operation or the function will fail. Only one operation structure per

 * command identifier may be registered.

 *

 * See include/net/genetlink.h for more documenation on the operations

 * structure.

 *

 * This is equivalent to calling genl_register_family() followed by

 * genl_register_ops() for every operation entry in the table taking

 * care to unregister the family on error path.

 *

 * Return 0 on success or a negative error code.
