ENUM NFT_GEN_ATTRIBUTES(9)

💅 enum nft_gen_attributes(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay bestie, we're looking at enum nft_gen_attributes(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's giving tiny-enum, big-nf_tables energy ✨. This page is all about nf_tables ruleset generation attributes, so let's get into it 🫶.

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum nft_gen_attributes — nf_tables ruleset generation attributes. That's the whole name vibe, no cap 💖.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       enum nft_gen_attributes {
           NFTA_GEN_UNSPEC ,
           NFTA_GEN_ID ,
           NFTA_GEN_PROC_PID ,
           NFTA_GEN_PROC_NAME ,
           __NFTA_GEN_MAX

       };

🎀 Constants 🎀

okay so the source gives us these constants, and some of them are literally marked -- undescribed --, so we are not inventing lore. Periodt 💅

• NFTA_GEN_UNSPEC — the docs say -- undescribed --, bestie 🙈
• NFTA_GEN_ID — Ruleset generation ID (NLA_U32). This one has actual tea ☕
• NFTA_GEN_PROC_PID — the docs say -- undescribed -- 😭
• NFTA_GEN_PROC_NAME — the docs say -- undescribed -- 🫠
• __NFTA_GEN_MAX — the docs say -- undescribed -- 💀
