ENUM NFT_VERDICTS(9)

💅 enum nft_verdicts(9) — nf_tables internal verdicts

okay bestie, welcome to the enum nft_verdicts(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is the little enum that tells nf_tables what to do with a packet, and honestly? it's giving main character energy 🎀

---

🌸 NAME

enum nft_verdicts — the internal verdicts of nf_tables 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

enum nft_verdicts {
    NFT_CONTINUE ,
    NFT_BREAK ,
    NFT_JUMP ,
    NFT_GOTO ,
    NFT_RETURN

};

---

🦋 CONSTANTS

Okay so these are the five besties, and each one does exactly one thing. No cap. 👑

• NFT_CONTINUE — keep evaluating the current rule, the way that it just keeps going 🔥
• NFT_BREAK — terminate evaluation of the current rule. yeah, we're done here 💀
• NFT_JUMP — push the current chain on the jump stack and jump to a chain 🦋 lowkey the responsible one
• NFT_GOTO — jump to a chain without pushing the current chain on the jump stack 🙈 no return ticket, iykyk
• NFT_RETURN — return to the topmost chain on the jump stack. homecoming, but make it netfilter 💅

---

💜 DESCRIPTION

The nf_tables verdicts share their numeric space with the netfilter verdicts. fr fr, same numbers, different enum — besties sharing a closet 🌈
