src: add command tag in JSON/XML export support
Currently, we can't do incremental updates via JSON/XML. This patch enriches the existing output to indicate the kind of update that you want to perform. So, if we have a ruleset like: table ip filter { chain input { type filter hook input priority 0; } } The new output looks like: {"nftables":[{"add":[{"table":{"name":"filter",...}}]}]} ^^^^^ Where we explicitly indicate that we want to add a table. We support all the actions that we can do with nft, they are: - Add, delete and flush tables and chains. - Add, delete, replace and insert rules. - Add and delete sets. - Add and delete set elements. - Flush ruleset. You only need to add the command tag: {"nftables":[{"delete":[{...}, {...},...}]}]} ^^^^^^^^ The possible command tags that you can use are "add", "delete", "insert", "replace" and "flush". - Flush table or chain, eg.: {"nftables":[{"flush":[{"table":{"name":...}}]}]} - Delete table, chain, set or rule: {"nftables":[{"delete":[{"chain":{"name":...}]}]} - Replace a rule (you have to specify the handle): {"nftables":[{"replace":[{"rule":{...}}]}]} - Insert a rule: {"nftables":[{"insert":[{"rule":{...}}]}]} Signed-off-by: Alvaro Neira Ayuso <alvaroneay@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
