Timers are identified by labels and are created when +a rule is set with a new label. The rules also take a timeout value (in +seconds) as an option. If more than one rule uses the same timer label, the +timer will be restarted whenever any of the rules get a hit. One entry for +each timer is created in sysfs. This attribute contains the timer remaining +for the timer to expire. The attributes are located under the xt_idletimer +class: +.PP +/sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/<label> +.PP +When the timer expires, the target module sends a sysfs notification to the +userspace, which can then decide what to do (eg. disconnect to save power). +.TP +\fB\-\-timeout\fP \fIamount\fP +This is the time in seconds that will trigger the notification. +.TP +\fB\-\-label\fP \fIstring\fP +This is a unique identifier for the timer. |
