📖 Function Documentation 📖

int nfq_snprintf_xml (char * buf, size_t rem, struct nfq_data * tb, int flags)

nfq_snprintf_xml — bestie, this one prints the enqueued packet in XML format straight into a buffer. it's giving "packet, but make it ✨markup✨" 🎀

🌸 Parameters 🌸

• buf — the buffer that you want to use to print the logged packet
• rem — the size of the buffer that you have passed
• tb — Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function
• flags — the flag that tell what to print into the buffer

this function supports the following flags:

• NFQ_XML_HW: include the hardware link layer address
• NFQ_XML_MARK: include the packet mark
• NFQ_XML_DEV: include the device information
• NFQ_XML_PHYSDEV: include the physical device information
• NFQ_XML_PAYLOAD: include the payload (in hexadecimal)
• NFQ_XML_TIME: include the timestamp
• NFQ_XML_ALL: include all the logging information (all flags set)

you can combine this flags with an binary OR. (yes, mix and match, it's a whole vibe, the bitwise way 🫶)

⭐ Returns ⭐

-1 in case of failure, otherwise the length of the string that would have been printed into the buffer (in case that there is enough room in it). See snprintf() return value for more information. 👑

ok so real talk, that return value is the snprintf classic — it tells you how long the string would have been, so don't get it twisted when the buffer's too small bestie 😭
