|Flag | Description
|dormant |
table is not evaluated any more (base chains are unregistered).
+|owner |
+table is owned by the creating process.
+|persist |
+table shall outlive the owning process.
|=================
+Creating a table with flag *owner* excludes other processes from manipulating
+it or its contents. By default, it will be removed when the process exits.
+Setting flag *persist* will prevent this and the resulting orphaned table will
+accept a new owner, e.g. a restarting daemon maintaining the table.
+
.*Add, change, delete a table*
