This library provides high level semantics to interact with the nftables framework by Netfilter project.

nftables replaces the old popular iptables, ip6tables, arptables and ebtables.

Netfilter software and nftables in particular are used in applications such as Internet connection sharing, firewalls, IP accounting, transparent proxying, advanced routing and traffic control.

A Linux kernel >= 3.13 is required. However, >= 4.14 is recommended.

This package provides development files and static libraries.
