From 557936d4f9e836c7f952ab11312f1915001ed774 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arturo Borrero Gonzalez Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2018 13:17:47 +0100 Subject: doc/nft.xml: mention nftables earlier Mention nftables earlier in the documentation, so users have more context on what we are talking about. This is Debian bug #887718, which contains: <<< Currently one must read down 100 lines before it is even mentioned. You might want to make the connection between "nft" and "nftables" as early as the NAME or DESCRIPTION. >>> Requested-by: Dan Jacobson Signed-off-by: Arturo Borrero Gonzalez Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso --- doc/nft.xml | 7 ++++--- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/nft.xml') diff --git a/doc/nft.xml b/doc/nft.xml index e515b110..9e979af3 100644 --- a/doc/nft.xml +++ b/doc/nft.xml @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ vi:ts=4 sw=4 nft - Administration tool for packet filtering and classification + Administration tool of the nftables framework for packet filtering and classification @@ -73,8 +73,9 @@ vi:ts=4 sw=4 Description - nft is used to set up, maintain and inspect packet - filtering and classification rules in the Linux kernel. + nft is the command line tool used to set up, maintain and inspect packet + filtering and classification rules in the Linux kernel, in the nftables framework. + The Linux kernel subsystem is known as nf_tables, and 'nf' stands for Netfilter. -- cgit v1.2.3
