We need a name for that, no? You *could* call it deserialization since we're converting the attribute stream into an object and we should (not done so far) convert bitmask values with more than one bit set into a tree of inclusive OR expressions. Not sure. I guess you can keep that name until we come up with something better, but I wouldn't move it to netlink_delinearize.c. This is meant to mirror netlink_linearize.c, they both only take care of rules. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
