[libnftnl PATCH 1/3] examples: fix nft-chain-add by adding batching support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This code example doesn't work, as the kernel API is only listening to messages
in batches.

This patch updates the example to add the needed batching support.
