* src: rename existing functions to use the nftnl_ prefixPablo Neira Ayuso2015-09-071-40/+40
| | | | | | | | | So we can use the nft_* prefix anytime soon for our upcoming higher level library. After this patch, the nft_* symbols become an alias of the nftnl_* symbols. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* src: introduce nftnl_* aliases for all existing functionsPablo Neira Ayuso2015-09-021-13/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces the nftnl_ symbols as aliases for the existing nft_ symbols through the EXPORT_SYMBOL(...) macro. We would like to use the nft_* prefix from our upcoming higher level library, meanwhile with this move we avoid that old binaries break because of missing symbol dependencies.

* src: add command tag in JSON/XML export supportAlvaro Neira Ayuso2015-02-101-6/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* src: add ruleset generation classPablo Neira Ayuso2014-09-191-0/+199
The generation object currently only contains the uint32_t that indicates the generation ID. I could have just add the API to return the uint32_t ID instead, but I think this API is easier to extend without adding new APIs. We can probably include meaningful statistics in the generation message in the future without much hassle. This patch also extends examples/nft-events.c.
