ENUM NFNL_BATCH_ATTRIBUTES(9)

✨ NAME ✨

enum nfnl_batch_attributes — the nfnetlink batch netlink attributes, bestie 💅 (this one lives in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, iykyk)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum nfnl_batch_attributes {
    NFNL_BATCH_UNSPEC ,
    NFNL_BATCH_GENID ,
    __NFNL_BATCH_MAX

};

Like, that's the whole lineup. Three constants, zero notes, main character energy 👑

🎀 Constants 🎀

• NFNL_BATCH_UNSPEC — okay so the manpage literally just says -- undescribed -- for this one 😭 that's it, that's the documentation, no cap. It's the unspecified placeholder and the page gives it zero lore.
• NFNL_BATCH_GENID — generation ID for this changeset, and it's an NLA_U32 🔥 that's the one with actual info, we love her for that.
• __NFNL_BATCH_MAX — also -- undescribed -- 🙈 the double-underscore internal max marker, and nope, no further description provided. Not me getting left on read by the docs 💀

🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

• Kernel file ./include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nfnetlink.h — go read the source, it's giving primary source realness 🫶

ngl if you need the why behind NFNL_BATCH_UNSPEC and __NFNL_BATCH_MAX, the page doesn't have it, so don't come for me — the header file above is your girl ⭐

and that's the whole vibe check, babe 🧚💖 this came from ./include/uapi/linux/netfilter, dated October 2026 — periodt, go slay your netlink batches 💜🌈
