    RTF_PRCLONING is set automatically by the protocol to cause host
    routes to be generated on every unique lookup.

    RTF_CLONING is set when the route is added (either manually, or
    automatically for interface routes) to indicate that a more specific
    route (possibly a host route) needs to be generated on every unique
    lookup.

    RTF_XRESOLVE is set when the target of the newly cloned route is not
    known by the kernel and must be set up by a user process. I'm not
    sure if anything ever used this, although I guess it could be used to
    implement ISIS.
