Assuming that libnftables is the only user of libnftnl we do care about, I guess if it can live without the printing routines from libnftnl there shouldn't be a problem in dropping them. So I just had a look at where libnftables prints nftnl objects: * Netlink debug output. * Monitor output if JSON output is requested. (Actually also for XML output, but libnftnl doesn't support that.) * Export command. My implementation should replace the latter two completely, so everything boils down to finding an alternative for netlink debug output. Maybe it is possible to go with a more generic approach (something like a semi-intelligent hexdump or so) so we don't have to keep custom printing functions for every possible nftnl type? Ideas anyone?
