ENUM NFT_LIMIT_ATTRIBUTES(9)

✨ enum nft_limit_attributes(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💅 this is the page for enum nft_limit_attributes — the nf_tables limit expression netlink attributes. yes, that's a mouthful, no cap. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum nft_limit_attributes — the nf_tables limit expression netlink attributes. literally what it says on the tin, bestie 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum nft_limit_attributes {
    NFTA_LIMIT_UNSPEC ,
    NFTA_LIMIT_RATE ,
    NFTA_LIMIT_UNIT ,
    NFTA_LIMIT_BURST ,
    NFTA_LIMIT_TYPE ,
    NFTA_LIMIT_FLAGS ,
    NFTA_LIMIT_PAD ,
    __NFTA_LIMIT_MAX

};

look at that enum just vibing 😌 all the members, exactly as they are, no edits, periodt.

🦋 Constants 🦋

here's the whole squad, one by one 👑

• NFTA_LIMIT_UNSPEC — -- undescribed -- 😭 the source gives us literally nothing on this one, it's giving mysterious main character energy. we respect it.
• NFTA_LIMIT_RATE — the refill rate, typed NLA_U64 💧
• NFTA_LIMIT_UNIT — the refill unit, also NLA_U64 🧮
• NFTA_LIMIT_BURST — burst, typed NLA_U32 🔥
• NFTA_LIMIT_TYPE — type of limit, NLA_U32: enum nft_limit_type 👑
• NFTA_LIMIT_FLAGS — flags, NLA_U32: enum nft_limit_flags 🎀
• NFTA_LIMIT_PAD — -- undescribed -- 🙈 again, the docs said "no thoughts, head empty". iconic honestly.
• __NFTA_LIMIT_MAX — -- undescribed -- 💀 yeah this one's also a mystery in the source. we don't make the rules, we just relay them fr fr.

ngl bestie if you got all the way down here you're lowkey built different 👑 go read the actual header too, it's ./include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nf_tables.h — iykyk 🧚

okay that's the page!! from the ./include/uapi/linux/netfilter corner of the kernel, dated October 2026, and yes the header title is enum nft_limit_attributes(9) in case you forgot already 😭 slay, go write some netlink attrs, ily bye 💖✨🌸
