ENUM NFT_QUOTA_ATTRIBUTES(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… enum nft_quota_attributes(9) β€” Kernel API Manual

okay bestie, so we're looking at enum nft_quota_attributes from the Kernel API Manual β€” it's the nf_tables quota expression netlink attributes, and like… it's giving "small but essential." Let's get into it πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

enum nft_quota_attributes β€” the nf_tables quota expression netlink attributes. That's it, that's the whole vibe. πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum nft_quota_attributes {
    NFTA_QUOTA_UNSPEC ,
    NFTA_QUOTA_BYTES ,
    NFTA_QUOTA_FLAGS ,
    NFTA_QUOTA_PAD ,
    NFTA_QUOTA_CONSUMED ,
    __NFTA_QUOTA_MAX

};

look at that little enum, so tidy, so demure. 😌


πŸ’– Constants πŸ’–

okay so each member gets its moment, no skipping:

  • NFTA_QUOTA_UNSPEC β€” honestly? the manpage gives us -- undescribed -- and nothing else. no thoughts, head empty πŸ’€ it's just sitting there being unspecified.
  • NFTA_QUOTA_BYTES β€” the quota, measured in bytes. type is NLA_U16 β€” keep that in mind, it's not a big number, bestie. πŸ“
  • NFTA_QUOTA_FLAGS β€” the flags. type is NLA_U32. flags gonna flag. ✨
  • NFTA_QUOTA_PAD β€” another -- undescribed -- one, sorry 😭 padding doing padding things, that's all we get fr fr.
  • NFTA_QUOTA_CONSUMED β€” the quota that's already been consumed, in bytes. type is NLA_U64, so this one's got range πŸ‘‘ lowkey the main character of the enum ngl.
  • __NFTA_QUOTA_MAX β€” also -- undescribed -- πŸ™ˆ the double-underscore max sentinel, keeping it mysterious.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

everything lives in the Kernel file ./include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nf_tables.h β€” that's the address, iykyk πŸ’…

and then there is literally a whole friend group of enum references, so let me introduce you:

like… that's a lot of enums and they all ate πŸ”₯ go read them, bestie, it's a whole saga.


ngl the -- undescribed -- entries are genuinely undescribed in this page β€” don't come for me, I'm just the messenger 😭

and that's the page! sign-off time: this one comes from the source ./include/uapi/linux/netfilter, dated October 2026, and it's the enum nft_quota_attributes(9) page β€” iconic, no notes, periodt. πŸ’œπŸ«ΆπŸ§š
