ENUM NFT_QUOTA_ATTRIBUTES(9)
π 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 likeβ¦ it's giving "small but essential." Let's get into it π
β¨ NAME β¨
enum nft_quota_attributes β the nf_tables quota expression netlink attributes. That's it, that's the whole vibe. π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
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. π
π Constants π
okay so each member gets its moment, no skipping:
NFTA_QUOTA_UNSPECβ honestly? the manpage gives us -- undescribed -- and nothing else. no thoughts, head empty π it's just sitting there being unspecified.NFTA_QUOTA_BYTESβ the quota, measured in bytes. type isNLA_U16β keep that in mind, it's not a big number, bestie. πNFTA_QUOTA_FLAGSβ the flags. type isNLA_U32. flags gonna flag. β¨NFTA_QUOTA_PADβ another -- undescribed -- one, sorry π padding doing padding things, that's all we get fr fr.NFTA_QUOTA_CONSUMEDβ the quota that's already been consumed, in bytes. type isNLA_U64, so this one's got range π lowkey the main character of the enum ngl.__NFTA_QUOTA_MAXβ also -- undescribed -- π the double-underscore max sentinel, keeping it mysterious.
π SEE ALSO π
everything lives in the Kernel file ./include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nf_tables.h β that's the address, iykyk π
and then there is literally a whole friend group of enum references, so let me introduce you:

likeβ¦ that's a lot of enums and they all ate π₯ 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 π
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. ππ«Άπ§
