I wrote stubs for using CAN sockets a long time ago. We used it for the
control system of a robot. The code is here:


http://sourceforge.net/p/krobot/krobot/ci/master/tree/info/control2011/src/can/

and the definition of CAN frames is in this file:


http://sourceforge.net/p/krobot/krobot/ci/master/tree/info/control2011/src/lib/krobot_can.mli

It should be easy to extract the code from the project if you want to reuse
it.

Jeremie
