This change makes it possible to delete rules after inserting them, without needing to query the rules first. Additionally, this allows positioning a new rule next to an existing rule. There are two ways to refer to a rule: Either by ID or by handle. The ID is assigned by userspace, and is only valid within a transaction, so it can only be used before the flush. The handle is assigned by the kernel when the transaction is committed, and can thus only be used after the flush. We thus need to set an ID on each newly created rule, and retrieve the handle of the rule during the flush. I extended the message struct with a pointer to the Rule which the message creates. This allows calling the reply handler callback which sets the handle. I updated tests to add a handle to generated replies for the NFT_MSG_NEWRULE messages. |

README.md
This is not the correct repository for issues with the Linux nftables project! This repository contains a third-party Go package to programmatically interact with nftables. Find the official nftables website at https://wiki.nftables.org/
This package manipulates Linux nftables (the iptables successor). It is implemented in pure Go, i.e. does not wrap libnftnl.
This is not an official Google product.
Breaking changes
This package is in very early stages, and only contains enough data types and functions to install very basic nftables rules. It is likely that mistakes with the data types/API will be identified as more functionality is added.
