UAPI is the WireGuard API for UNIX socket communication with WireGuard implementation that uses it (e.g. wireguard-go).

NLA is NetLink Attribute. NetLink is a kernel interface for networking resources (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/next/userspace-api/netlink/intro.html). WireGuard kernel module on Linux uses NLAs for configuration.
