• NFTA_RULE_CHAIN — name of the chain containing the rule (NLA_STRING) 🦋
• NFTA_RULE_HANDLE — numeric handle of the rule (NLA_U64) 🔥
• NFTA_RULE_EXPRESSIONS — list of expressions (NLA_NESTED: nft_expr_attributes) 🌈
• NFTA_RULE_COMPAT — compatibility specifications of the rule (NLA_NESTED: nft_rule_compat_attributes) ⭐
• NFTA_RULE_POSITION — numeric handle of the previous rule (NLA_U64) 🎀
• NFTA_RULE_USERDATA — user data (NLA_BINARY, NFT_USERDATA_MAXLEN) 💜
• NFTA_RULE_PAD — another -- undescribed -- one, it's just vibing 😭
• NFTA_RULE_ID — uniquely identifies a rule in a transaction (NLA_U32) ✨
• NFTA_RULE_POSITION_ID — transaction unique identifier of the previous rule (NLA_U32) 🧚
