✨ enum nft_nat_attributes(9) ✨

okay so bestie, gather round β€” this is the manual page for enum nft_nat_attributes(9), aka the netlink attribute club for the nf_tables nat expression πŸ’… no cap, it's giving very "small but mighty."


🌸 NAME 🌸

enum nft_nat_attributes β€” the nf_tables nat expression's netlink attributes, fr fr πŸ¦‹


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

enum nft_nat_attributes {
    NFTA_NAT_UNSPEC ,
    NFTA_NAT_TYPE ,
    NFTA_NAT_FAMILY ,
    NFTA_NAT_REG_ADDR_MIN ,
    NFTA_NAT_REG_ADDR_MAX ,
    NFTA_NAT_REG_PROTO_MIN ,
    NFTA_NAT_REG_PROTO_MAX ,
    NFTA_NAT_FLAGS ,
    __NFTA_NAT_MAX

};

like… look at her. iconic. πŸ‘‘


πŸ’– CONSTANTS πŸ’–

okay here's the whole roster, one by one, no skipping, we don't do that here 🫢

  • NFTA_NAT_UNSPEC β€” honestly? -- undescribed --. the manpage said nothing, so I'm saying nothing. mysterious main character energy πŸ™ˆ
  • NFTA_NAT_TYPE β€” the NAT type (NLA_U32: nft_nat_types). this one tells you what kind of nat we're doing ✨
  • NFTA_NAT_FAMILY β€” the NAT family (NLA_U32) 🌈
  • NFTA_NAT_REG_ADDR_MIN β€” the source register where the address range starts (NLA_U32: nft_registers) πŸŽ€
  • NFTA_NAT_REG_ADDR_MAX β€” the source register where the address range ends (NLA_U32: nft_registers) πŸŽ€
  • NFTA_NAT_REG_PROTO_MIN β€” the source register where the proto range starts (NLA_U32: nft_registers) πŸ”₯
  • NFTA_NAT_REG_PROTO_MAX β€” the source register where the proto range ends (NLA_U32: nft_registers) πŸ”₯
  • NFTA_NAT_FLAGS β€” the NAT flags, and bestie pls note: see NF_NAT_RANGE_* in linux/netfilter/nf_nat.h for those, it's NLA_U32 πŸ’œ
  • __NFTA_NAT_MAX β€” also -- undescribed --. the quiet one at the end of the enum. we respect her privacy πŸ’€

πŸ’€ real talk bestie: NFTA_NAT_UNSPEC and __NFTA_NAT_MAX are literally marked -- undescribed -- in the source. I'm not inventing lore for them. we stay honest in this group chat. 🫢

and that's the whole page, bestie β€” source ./include/uapi/linux/netfilter, version October 2026. mwah πŸ’‹ go forth and nat responsibly βœ¨πŸŽ€πŸ¦‹
