ENUM NFT_LIST_ATTRIBUTES(9)

🦋 NAME 🦋

okay so enum nft_list_attributes(9) is the Kernel API Manual, section 9 page for the nf_tables generic list netlink attributes. yes bestie, it’s a whole enum and it’s lowkey iconic in a “tiny but load-bearing” way 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here’s the enum exactly as the page lays it out — no edits, no remixes, no cap:

enum nft_list_attributes {
    NFTA_LIST_UNSPEC ,
    NFTA_LIST_ELEM ,
    __NFTA_LIST_MAX

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

• NFTA_LIST_UNSPEC — the original literally says -- undescribed --, so this one is giving mystery. we are not inventing lore, periodt 💀
• NFTA_LIST_ELEM — list element (NLA_NESTED). this is the one with an actual description, and it ate 🫶
• __NFTA_LIST_MAX — also -- undescribed -- in the source. the docs are keeping secrets and we respect the privacy 🙈
