* doc, src: make some spelling and grammatical improvementsJeremy Sowden2022-09-221-2/+2

* doc: use symbolic names for chain prioritiesSimon Ruderich2021-03-241-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the numbers with the matching symbolic names with one exception: The NAT example used "priority 0" for the prerouting priority. This is replaced by "dstnat" which has priority -100 which is the new recommended priority. Also use spaces instead of tabs for consistency in lines which require updates.

* meta: Introduce new conditions 'time', 'day' and 'hour'Ander Juaristi2019-09-061-2/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These keywords introduce new checks for a timestamp, an absolute date (which is converted to a timestamp), an hour in the day (which is converted to the number of seconds since midnight) and a day of week. When converting an ISO date (eg. 2019-06-06 17:00) to a timestamp, we need to substract it the GMT difference in seconds, that is, the value of the 'tm_gmtoff' field in the tm structure. This is because the kernel doesn't know about time zones. And hence the kernel manages different timestamps than those that are advertised in userspace when running, for instance, date +%s. The same conversion needs to be done when converting hours (e.g 17:00) to seconds since midnight as well. The result needs to be computed modulo 86400 in case GMT offset (difference in seconds from UTC) is negative. We also introduce a new command line option (-t, --seconds) to show the actual timestamps when printing the values, rather than the ISO dates, or the hour. Some usage examples: time < "2019-06-06 17:00" drop; time < "2019-06-06 17:20:20" drop; time < 12341234 drop; day "Saturday" drop; day 6 drop; hour >= 17:00 drop; hour >= "17:00:01" drop; hour >= 63000 drop; We need to convert an ISO date to a timestamp without taking into account the time zone offset, since comparison will be done in kernel space and there is no time zone information there. Overwriting TZ is portable, but will cause problems when parsing a ruleset that has 'time' and 'hour' rules. Parsing an 'hour' type must not do time zone conversion, but that will be automatically done if TZ has been overwritten to UTC. Hence, we use timegm() to parse the 'time' type, even though it's not portable. Overwriting TZ seems to be a much worse solution. Finally, be aware that timestamps are converted to nanoseconds when transferring to the kernel (as comparison is done with nanosecond precision), and back to seconds when retrieving them for printing. We swap left and right values in a range to properly handle cross-day hour ranges (e.g. 23:15-03:22). Signed-off-by: Ander Juaristi <a@juaristi.eus> Reviewed-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

* nft.8: Update meta pkt_type value descriptionPhil Sutter2018-09-181-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 8a7f6de536408 ("meta: fix pkttype name and add 'other' symbol") deprecated pkt_type value 'unicast' (for it being misleading) and introduced 'host' and 'other' but it did not update documentation accordingly. Fix this by replacing 'unicast' with 'host' in documentation and adding 'other'. While being at it, make sure these literal values are recognized as such: Put them in all lower-case (as required by the parser) and in bold font (to stand out a bit more).

No major omissions were found. - data-types.txt: (Nothing special) - nft.txt: -- changed "`nft' stands for Netfilter" back to "`nf' stands for Netfilter" -- removed mysterious plus sign - payload-expression.txt: -- XML had MTU as 16-bit so changed back from 32. Is that correct? - primary-expression.txt: (Nothing special) - statements.txt: (Nothing special) This patch does not address any of the following observations: 1. Title has changed from nft to NFT 2. There is no attempt at justification. 3. There is no attempt at hyphenation. 4. Long lines of code now wrap instead of indenting nicely. See e.g. "tcp option" line under EXTENSION HEADER EXPRESSIONS 5. Tables have a lot of empty lines in them. 6. Occasionally there is severe wrapping, e.g. under CHAINS see add/create/delete/&c. which wrap at about cc40.
