It +provides a unified kernel/userspace interface for the various netfilter +subsystems, such as connection tracking, logging and queueing. + + +What is libnfnetlink? + +libnfnetlink is a userspace library that provides some low-level +nfnetlink handling functions. It is used as a foundation for other, netfilter +subsystem specific libraries such as libnfnetlink_conntrack, libnfnetlink_log +and libnfnetlink_queue. + + +Prerequirements for libnfnetlink + +You will need kernel headers from a kernel that has nfnetlink support. The +first official kernel release to include nfnetlink support is 2.6.14. +You can specify the location of your kernel sources using the "--with-kernel=" +configure option. + + +Where can I find documentation? + +At the moment, you will have to RTFS. Sorry, but we have barely enough +manpower to keep development ongoing. If you want to conribute documentation, +please contact us. + + +It has bugs. Where do I report them? + +Please report all libnfnetlink bugs to https://bugzilla.netfilter.org/, using +the "libnfnetlink" Product. + + +License + +This library is released under GPLv2+. + + +Where do I get support? + +The netfilter@lists.netfilter.org and netfilter-devel@lists.netfilter.org +mailinglists server as support forum. + |
