* src: add --literal optionPablo Neira Ayuso2018-07-071-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Default not to print the service name as we discussed during the NFWS. # nft list ruleset table ip x { chain y { tcp dport 22 ip saddr 1.1.1.1 } } # nft -l list ruleset table ip x { chain y { tcp dport ssh ip saddr 1.1.1.1 } } # nft -ll list ruleset table ip x { chain y { tcp dport 22 ip saddr 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com } } Then, -ll displays FQDN. just like the (now deprecated) --ip2name (-N) option.

* libnftables: Simplify nft_run_cmd_from_buffer footprintPhil Sutter2018-06-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With libnftables documentation being upstream and one confirmed external user (nftlb), time to break the API! First of all, the command buffer passed to nft_run_cmd_from_buffer may (and should) be const. One should consider it a bug if that function ever changed it's content. On the other hand, there is no point in passing the buffer's length as separate argument: NULL bytes are not expected to occur in the input, so it is safe to rely upon strlen(). Also, the actual parsers don't require a buffer length passed to them, either. The only use-case for it is when reallocating the buffer to append a final newline character, there strlen() is perfectly sufficient.

* libnftables: Implement JSON output supportPhil Sutter2018-05-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Although technically there already is support for JSON output via 'nft export json' command, it is hardly useable since it exports all the gory details of nftables VM. Also, libnftables has no control over what is exported since the content comes directly from libnftnl. Instead, implement JSON format support for regular 'nft list' commands.

* libnftables: fix header exportArturo Borrero Gonzalez2018-05-022-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Instruct Make to actually install the header to the system, otherwise users won't see the header in their system after running 'make install'. Also, export main libnftables header with a proper name, since we have another private header called 'nftables.h' (i.e, let's be concrete with the naming).

* libnftables: Support buffering output and errorPhil Sutter2018-04-111-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | When integrating libnftables into Python code using ctypes module, having to use a FILE pointer for output becomes a show-stopper. Therefore make Python hackers' lives (a little) less painful by providing convenience functions to setup buffering output and error streams using fopencookie() and retrieving the buffers.

* libnftables: Introduce nft_ctx_set_error()Phil Sutter2018-04-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | Analogous to nft_ctx_set_output(), this allows to set a custom file pointer for writing error messages to. Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* libnftables: Unexport enum nftables_exit_codesPhil Sutter2017-11-161-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Apart from SUCCESS/FAILURE, these codes were not used by library functions simply because NOMEM and NONL conditions lead to calling exit() instead of propagating the error condition back up the call stack. Instead, make nft_run_cmd_from_*() return either 0 or -1 on error. Usually errno will then contain more details about what happened and/or there are messages in erec. Calls to exit()/return in main() are adjusted to stay compatible. Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* libnftables: Get rid of explicit cache flushesPhil Sutter2017-10-261-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the past, CLI as a potentially long running process had to make sure it kept it's cache up to date with kernel's rule set. A simple test case is this: | shell a | shell b | | # nft -i | # nft add table ip t | | | nft> list ruleset | | table ip t { | | } | # nft flush ruleset | | | nft> list ruleset | | nft> In order to make sure interactive CLI wouldn't incorrectly list the table again in the second 'list' command, it immediately flushed it's cache after every command execution. This patch eliminates the need for that by making cache updates depend on kernel's generation ID: A cache update stores the current rule set's ID in struct nft_cache, consecutive calls to cache_update() compare that stored value to the current generation ID received from kernel - if the stored value is zero (i.e. no previous cache update did happen) or if it doesn't match the kernel's value (i.e. cache is outdated) the cache is flushed and fully initialized again.

* src: add nft_ prefix to everything exposed through include/nftables/nftables.hPablo Neira Ayuso2017-10-241-15/+15
| | | | | | | | Prepend nft_ prefix before these are exposed, reduce chances we hit symbol namespace pollution problems when mixing libnftables with other existing libraries. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* libnftables: Introduce getters and setters for everythingPhil Sutter2017-10-241-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces getter/setter pairs for all parts in struct nft_ctx (and contained structs) which should be configurable. Most of them are simple ones, just allowing to get/set a given field: * nft_ctx_{get,set}_dry_run() -> ctx->check * nft_ctx_output_{get,set}_numeric() -> ctx->output.numeric * nft_ctx_output_{get,set}_stateless() -> ctx->output.stateless * nft_ctx_output_{get,set}_ip2name() -> ctx->output.ip2name * nft_ctx_output_{get,set}_debug() -> ctx->debug_mask * nft_ctx_output_{get,set}_handle() -> ctx->output.handle * nft_ctx_output_{get,set}_echo() -> ctx->output.echo A more complicated case is include paths handling: In order to keep the API simple, remove INCLUDE_PATHS_MAX restraint and dynamically allocate nft_ctx field include_paths instead. So there is: * nft_ctx_add_include_path() -> add an include path to the list * nft_ctx_clear_include_paths() -> flush the list of include paths Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc> Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>
* libnftables: Introduce nft_ctx_flush_cache()Phil Sutter2017-10-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows an application to explicitly flush caches associated with a given nft context, as seen in cli_complete(). Note that this is a bit inconsistent in that it releases the global interface cache, but nft_ctx_free() does the same so at least it's not a regression. Note that there is no need for explicit cache update routine since cache is populated during command execution depending on whether it is needed or not.
