ENUM NFT_LOG_ATTRIBUTES(9)

💅 enum nft_log_attributes(9) — like, the actual Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so picture this: it's the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is enum nft_log_attributes — the nf_tables log expression's netlink attributes. yes bestie, this is the enum that tells the kernel's logging expression what to do. she's giving "quiet luxury but make it netfilter" 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum nft_log_attributes — the nf_tables log expression's netlink attributes, no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum nft_log_attributes {
    NFTA_LOG_UNSPEC ,
    NFTA_LOG_GROUP ,
    NFTA_LOG_PREFIX ,
    NFTA_LOG_SNAPLEN ,
    NFTA_LOG_QTHRESHOLD ,
    NFTA_LOG_LEVEL ,
    NFTA_LOG_FLAGS ,
    __NFTA_LOG_MAX

};

like, that's the whole squad right there 🫶

👑 Constants 👑

these are the members, one by one, and yes we're doing all of them 💅

• NFTA_LOG_UNSPEC — -- undescribed -- 😭 the docs literally did not say. she's mysterious. she's an enigma. we move.
• NFTA_LOG_GROUP — the netlink group you send messages to. type is NLA_U16 💖
• NFTA_LOG_PREFIX — a prefix you prepend to your log messages, so they can be ✨aesthetic✨ and identifiable. type is NLA_STRING 🎀
• NFTA_LOG_SNAPLEN — how much of the payload gets included in the netlink message, like a little snack-sized portion of packet. type is NLA_U32 🍓
• NFTA_LOG_QTHRESHOLD — the queue threshold, i.e. the vibe check for how much queue is too much queue. type is NLA_U16 🧚
• NFTA_LOG_LEVEL — the log level. iconic, self-explanatory, we love her. type is NLA_U32 ⭐
• NFTA_LOG_FLAGS — logging flags, for all your flag-related logging needs. type is NLA_U32 🔥
• __NFTA_LOG_MAX — -- undescribed -- 😭 same situation as NFTA_LOG_UNSPEC. she's private. respect her boundaries bestie.

ngl the -- undescribed -- ones are lowkey sending me, but I'm not out here inventing lore. if the docs don't say, I don't say either 🙈
