+NAME
+----
+nft - Administration tool of the nftables framework for packet filtering and classification
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+*nft* [ *-nNscae* ] [ *-I* 'directory' ] [ *-f* 'filename' | *-i* | 'cmd' ...]
+*nft* *-h*
+*nft* *-v*
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+nft is the command line tool used to set up, maintain and inspect packet filtering and classification rules in the Linux kernel, in the nftables framework. The Linux kernel subsystem is known as nf_tables,  and `nft' stands for Netfilter.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+For a full summary of options, run *nft --help*.
+
+*-h*::
+*--help*::
+	Show help message and all options.
+
+*-v*::
+*--version*::
+	Show version.
+
+*-n*::
+*--numeric*::
+	Show data numerically. When used once (the default behaviour), skip
+	lookup of addresses to symbolic names. Use twice to also show Internet
+	services (port numbers) numerically. Use three times to also show
+	protocols and UIDs/GIDs numerically.
+
+*-s*::
+*--stateless*::
+	Omit stateful information of rules and stateful objects.
+
+*-l*::
+*--literal*::
+	Translate numeric to literal. When used once (the default behav‐
+	iour),  print  services (instead of numerical port numbers). Use
+	twice to perform the IP address to name lookup, this usually re‐
+	quires  network traffic for DNS lookup that slows down the rule‐
+	set listing.
+
+*-c*::
+*--check*::
+	Check commands validity without actually applying the changes.
+
+*-a*::
+*--handle*::
+	Show object handles in output.
+
+*-e*::
+*--echo*::
+	When  inserting  items  into the ruleset using add, insert or replace commands, print notifications
+	just like nft monitor.
+
+*-I*::
+*--includepath directory*::
+	Add the directory 'directory' to the list of directories to be searched for included files. This  op‐
+	tion may be specified multiple times.
+
+*-f*::
+*--file 'filename'*::
+	Read input from 'filename'. If 'filename' is -, read from stdin. +
+	nft scripts must start #!/usr/sbin/nft -f
+
+*-i*::
+*--interactive*::
+	Read  input from an interactive readline CLI. You can use quit to exit, or use the EOF marker, nor‐
+	mally this is CTRL-D.
+
+INPUT FILE FORMATS
+------------------
+LEXICAL CONVENTIONS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Input is parsed line-wise. When the last character of a line, just before the newline character, is a non-quoted backslash (\), the next line is treated as a continuation. Multiple commands on the same line can be separated using a semicolon (;). +
+
+A hash sign (#) begins a comment. All following characters on the same line are ignored. +
+
+Identifiers begin with an alphabetic character (a-z,A-Z), followed zero or more alphanumeric characters (a-z,A-Z,0-9) and the characters slash (/), backslash (\), underscore (_) and dot (.). Identifiers using different characters or clashing with a keyword need to be enclosed in double quotes (").
+
+INCLUDE FILES
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+[verse]
+*include* 'filename'
+
+Other files can be included by using the *include* statement. The directories to be searched for include files can be specified using the *-I*/*--includepath* option. You can override this behaviour either by prepending `./' to your path to force inclusion of files located in the current working directory (i.e. relative path) or / for  file  location expressed as an absolute path. +
+
+If *-I*/*--includepath* is not specified, then nft relies on the default directory that is specified at compile time. You can retrieve this default directory via *-h*/*--help* option. +
+
+Include statements support the usual shell wildcard symbols (\*,?,[]). Having no matches for an include statement is not an error, if wildcard symbols are used in the include statement. This allows having potentially empty include directories for statements like **include "/etc/firewall/rules/"**. The wildcard matches are loaded in alphabetical order. Files beginning with dot (.) are not matched by include statements.
+
+SYMBOLIC VARIABLES
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+[verse]
+*define* variable 'expr'
+*$variable*
+
+Symbolic variables can be defined using the *define* statement. Variable references are expressions and can be used initialize other variables. The scope of a definition is the current block and all blocks contained within.
+
+.Using symbolic variables
+---------------------------------------
+define int_if1 = eth0
+define int_if2 = eth1
+define int_ifs = { $int_if1, $int_if2 }
+
+filter input iif $int_ifs accept
+---------------------------------------
+
+[[ADDRESS_FAMILIES]]
+ADDRESS FAMILIES
+----------------
+Address families determine the type of packets which are processed. For each address family the kernel contains so called hooks at specific stages of the packet processing paths, which invoke nftables if rules for these hooks exist.
+
+[horizontal]
+ip:: IPv4 address family.
+ip6:: IPv6 address family.
+inet:: Internet (IPv4/IPv6) address family.
+arp:: ARP address family, handling IPv4 ARP packets.
+bridge:: Bridge address family, handling packets which traverse a bridge device.
+netdev:: Netdev address family, handling packets from ingress.
+
+All nftables objects exist in address family specific namespaces, therefore all identifiers include an address family. If an identifier is specified without an address family, the *ip* family is used by default.
+
+IPV4/IPV6/INET ADDRESS FAMILIES
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The IPv4/IPv6/Inet address families handle IPv4, IPv6 or both types of packets. They contain five hooks at different packet processing stages in the network stack.
+
+.IPv4/IPv6/Inet address family hooks
+[options="header"]
+|==================
+|Hook | Description
+|prerouting |
+All packets entering the system are processed by the prerouting hook. It is invoked before the routing process and is used for early filtering or changing packet attributes that affect routing.
+|input |
+Packets delivered to the local system are processed by the input hook.
+|forward |
+Packets forwarded to a different host are processed by the forward hook.
+|output |
+Packets sent by local processes are processed by the output hook.
+|postrouting |
+All packets leaving the system are processed by the postrouting hook.
+|===================
+
+ARP ADDRESS FAMILY
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The ARP address family handles ARP packets received and sent by the system. It
+is commonly used to mangle ARP packets for clustering.
+
+.ARP address family hooks
+[options="header"]
+|=================
+|Hook | Description
+|input |
+Packets delivered to the local system are processed by the input hook.
+|output |
+Packets send by the local system are processed by the output hook.
+|=================
+
+BRIDGE ADDRESS FAMILY
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The bridge address family handles ethernet packets traversing bridge devices.
+
+The list of supported hooks is identical to IPv4/IPv6/Inet address families above.
+
+NETDEV ADDRESS FAMILY
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The Netdev address family handles packets from ingress.
+
+.Netdev address family hooks
+[options="header"]
+|=================
+|Hook | Description
+|ingress |
+All packets entering the system are processed by this hook. It is invoked before layer 3 protocol handlers and it can be used for early filtering and policing.
+|=================
+
+RULESET
+-------
+[verse]
+{list | flush} *ruleset* ['family']
+\{export\} [*ruleset*] {'format'}
+
+The *ruleset* keyword is used to identify the whole set of tables, chains, etc. currently in place in kernel. The following *ruleset* commands exist:
+
+[horizontal]
+*list*:: Print the ruleset in human-readable format.
+
+*flush*:: Clear the whole ruleset. Note that unlike iptables, this will remove all tables and whatever they contain, effectively leading to an empty ruleset - no packet filtering will happen anymore, so the kernel accepts any valid packet it receives.
+
+*export*:: Print the ruleset in machine readable format. The mandatory 'format' parameter may be either *xml* or *json*.
+
+It is possible to limit *list* and *flush* to a specific address family only. For a list of valid family names, see <<ADDRESS_FAMILIES>> above.
+
+Note that contrary to what one might assume, the output generated by *export* is not parseable by *nft -f*. Instead, the output of *list* command serves well for that purpose.
+
+TABLES
+------
+[verse]
+{add | create} *table* ['family'] 'table' [ {flags 'flags'} ]
+{delete | list | flush} *table* ['family'] 'table'
+delete *table* ['family'] handle 'handle'
+
+Tables are containers for chains, sets and stateful objects. They are identified by their address family and their name. The address family must be one of *ip*, *ip6*, *inet*, *arp*, *bridge*, *netdev*. The *inet* address family is a dummy family which is used to create hybrid IPv4/IPv6 tables. The *meta expression nfproto* keyword can be used to test which family (ipv4 or ipv6) context the packet is being processed in. When no address family is specified, *ip* is used by default. The only difference between add and create is that the former will not return an error if the specified table already exists while *create* will return an error.
+
+.Table flags
+[options="header"]
+|=================
+|Flag | Description
+|dormant |
+table is not evaluated any more (base chains are unregistered).
+|=================
+
+.*Add, change, delete a table*
+---------------------------------------
+# start nft in interactive mode
+nft --interactive
+
+# create a new table.
+create table inet mytable

+CHAINS
+------
+[verse]
+{add | create} *chain* ['family'] 'table' 'chain' [ { type 'type' hook 'hook' [device 'device'] priority 'priority' ; [policy 'policy' ;] }]
+{delete | list | flush} *chain* ['family'] 'table' 'chain'
+delete *chain* ['family'] 'table' handle 'handle'
+rename *chain* ['family'] 'table' 'chain' 'newname'
+
+Chains are containers for rules. They exist in two kinds, base chains and regular chains. A base chain is an entry point for packets from the networking stack, a regular chain may be used as jump target and is used for better rule organization.
+
+[horizontal]
+*add*:: Add a new chain in the specified table. When a hook and priority value are specified, the chain is created as a base chain and hooked up to the networking stack.
+*create*:: Similar to the *add* command, but returns an error if the chain already exists.
+*delete*:: Delete the specified chain. The chain must not contain any rules or be used as jump target.
+*rename*:: Rename the specified chain.
+*list*:: List all rules of the specified chain.
+*flush*:: Flush all rules of the specified chain.
+
+For base chains, *type*, *hook* and *priority* parameters are mandatory.
+
+.Supported chain types
+[options="header"]
+|=================
+|Type | Families | Hooks | Description
+|filter | all | all |
+Standard chain type to use in doubt.
+|nat | ip, ip6 |
+prerouting, input, output, postrouting |
+Chains of this type perform Native Address Translation based on conntrack
+entries. Only the first packet of a connection actually traverses this chain -
+its rules usually define details of the created conntrack entry (NAT
+statements for instance).
+|route | ip, ip6 | output |
+If a packet has traversed a chain of this type and is about to be accepted, a
+new route lookup is performed if relevant parts of the IP header have changed.
+This allows to e.g.  implement policy routing selectors in nftables.
+|=================
+
+Apart from the special cases illustrated above (e.g. *nat* type not supporting *forward* hook or *route* type only supporting *output* hook), there are two further quirks worth noticing:
+
+* netdev family supports merely a single combination, namely *filter* type and *ingress* hook. Base chains in this family also require the *device* parameter to be present since they exist per incoming interface only.
+* arp family supports only *input* and *output* hooks, both in chains of type *filter*.
+
+The *priority* parameter accepts a signed integer value which specifies the order in which chains with same *hook* value are traversed. The ordering is
+ascending, i.e. lower priority values have precedence over higher ones.
+
+Base chains also allow to set the chain's *policy*, i.e. what happens to packets not explicitly accepted or refused in contained rules. Supported policy values are *accept* (which is the default) or *drop*.
+
+RULES
+-----
+[verse]
+[add | insert] *rule* ['family'] 'table' 'chain' [ {handle | position} 'handle' | index 'index' ] 'statement'...
+replace *rule* ['family'] 'table' 'chain' handle 'handle' 'statement'...
+delete *rule* ['family'] 'table' 'chain' handle 'handle'
+
+Rules are added to chain in the given table. If the family is not specified, the ip family is used. Rules are constructed from two kinds of components according to a set of grammatical rules: ex‐ pressions and statements.
+
+The add and insert commands support an optional location specifier, which is either a 'handle' of an existing rule or an 'index' (starting  at zero). Internally, rule locations are always identified by 'handle' and the translation from 'index' happens in userspace. This has two potential implications in case a concurrent ruleset change happens after the translation was done: The effective rule  index might change if a rule was inserted or deleted before the referred one. If the referred rule was deleted, the command is rejected by the kernel just as if an invalid 'handle' was given.
+
+*add*::
+Add a new rule described by the list of statements. The rule is appended to the given chain unless a position is specified, in which case the rule is appended to the rule given by the 'handle'. The alternative name position is deprecated and should not be used anymore.
+
+*insert*:: Similar to the *add* command, but the rule is prepended to the beginning of the chain or before the rule at the given position.
+
+*replace*:: Similar to the add command, but the rule replaces the specified rule.
+
+*delete*:: Delete the specified rule.
+
+.*add a rule to ip table input chain*
+-------------
+nft add rule filter output ip daddr 192.168.0.0/24 accept # 'ip filter' is assumed
+# same command, slightly more verbose
+nft add rule ip filter output ip daddr 192.168.0.0/24 accept
+--------------
+
+.*delete rule from inet table*
+-----------------------
+# nft -a list ruleset
+table inet filter {
+	chain input {
+		type filter hook input priority 0; policy accept;
+		ct state established,related accept # handle 4
+		ip saddr 10.1.1.1 tcp dport ssh accept # handle 5
+	  ...
+# delete the rule with handle 5
+# nft delete rule inet filter input handle 5
+-------------------------
+
+SETS
+----
+nftables offers two kinds of set concepts.  Anonymous sets are sets that have no specific name. The set members are enclosed in curly braces, with commas to separate elements when creating the rule the set is used in. Once that rule is removed, the set is removed as well. They cannot be updated, i.e. once an anonymous set is declared it cannot be changed anymore except by removing/altering the rule that uses the anonymous set.
+
+.*Using anonymous sets to accept particular subnets and ports*
+----------
+nft add rule filter input ip saddr { 10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16 } tcp dport { 22, 443 } accept
+----------
+
+Named sets are sets that need to be defined first before they can be referenced in rules. Unlike anonymous sets, elements can be added to or removed from a named set at any time. Sets are referenced from rules using an @ prefixed to the sets name.
+
+.*Using named sets to accept addresses and ports*
+------------------
+nft add rule filter input ip saddr @allowed_hosts tcp dport @allowed_ports accept
+------------------
+
+The sets allowed_hosts and allowed_ports need to be created first. The next section describes nft set syntax in more detail.
+
+[verse]
+add *set* ['family'] 'table' 'set' { type 'type' ; [flags 'flags' ;] [timeout 'timeout' ;] [gc-interval 'gc-interval' ;] [elements = { 'element'[,...]

+delete *set* ['family'] 'table' handle 'handle'
+{add | delete} *element* ['family'] 'table' 'set' { 'element'[,...] }
+
+Sets are elements containers of an user-defined data type, they are uniquely identified by an user-defined name and attached to tables. Their behaviour can be tuned with the flags that can be specified at set creation time.
+

+[verse]
+{add | create} *flowtable* ['family'] 'table' 'flowtable' { hook 'hook' priority 'priority' ; devices = { 'device'[,...] } ; }
+{delete | list} *flowtable* ['family'] 'table' 'flowtable'
+
+Flowtables allow you to accelerate packet forwarding in software. Flowtables entries are represented through a tuple that is composed of the input interface, source and destination address, source and destination port; and layer 3/4 protocols. Each entry also caches the destination interface and the gateway address - to update the destination link-layer address - to forward  packets. The ttl and hoplimit fields are also decremented. Hence, flowtables provides an alternative path that allow packets to bypass the classic forwarding path. Flowtables reside in the ingress hook, that is located before the prerouting hook. You can select what flows you want to offload through the flow offload expression from the forward chain. Flowtables are identified by their address family and their name. The address family must be one of ip, ip6, inet. The inet address family is a dummy family which is used to create hybrid IPv4/IPv6 tables.  When no address family is specified, ip is used by default.
+
+[horizontal]
+*add*:: Add a new flowtable for the given family with the given name.
+*delete*:: Delete the specified flowtable.
+*list*:: List all flowtables.
+
+
+STATEFUL OBJECTS
+----------------
+[verse]
+{add | delete | list | reset} type ['family'] 'table' 'object'
+delete type ['family'] 'table' handle 'handle'
+
+Stateful objects are attached to tables and are identified by an unique name. They group stateful information from rules, to reference them in rules the keywords "type name" are used e.g. "counter name".
+
+[horizontal]
+*add*:: Add a new stateful object in the specified table.
+*delete*:: Delete the specified object.
+*list*:: Display stateful information the object holds.
+*reset*:: List-and-reset stateful object.
+
+include::stateful-objects.txt[]
+
+EXPRESSIONS
+------------
+Expressions represent values, either constants like network addresses, port numbers etc. or data gathered from the packet  during  ruleset  evaluation.
+Expressions can be combined using binary, logical, relational and other types of expressions to form complex or relational (match) expressions. They are also used as arguments to certain types of operations, like NAT, packet marking etc. +
+
+Each expression has a data type, which determines the size, parsing and representation of symbolic values and type compatibility with other expressions.
+
+DESCRIBE COMMAND
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+[verse]
+*describe* 'expression'
+
+The *describe* command shows information about the type of an expression and its data type.
+
+.The describe command
+---------------------
+$ nft describe tcp flags
+payload expression, datatype tcp_flag (TCP flag) (basetype bitmask, integer), 8 bits
+
+predefined symbolic constants:
+fin                           0x01
+syn                           0x02
+rst                           0x04
+psh                           0x08
+ack                           0x10
+urg                           0x20
+ecn                           0x40
+cwr                           0x80
+---------------------
+
+DATA TYPES
+----------
+
+Data  types  determine the size, parsing and representation of symbolic values and type compatibility of expressions. A number of global data types  exist, in addition some expression types define further data types specific to the expression type. Most data types have a fixed size, some however may have a dynamic size, f.i. the string type. +
+
+Types may be derived from lower order types, f.i. the IPv4 address type is derived from the integer type, meaning an IPv4 address can also be specified as an integer value. +
+
+In certain contexts (set and map definitions) it is necessary to explicitly specify a data type. Each type has a name which is used for this.
+
+include::data-types.txt[]
+
+PRIMARY EXPRESSIONS
+-------------------
+The  lowest  order expression is a primary expression, representing either a constant or a single datum from a packet's payload, meta data or a stateful module.
+
+include::primary-expression.txt[]
+
+PAYLOAD EXPRESSIONS
+-------------------
+Payload expressions refer to data from the packet's payload.
+
+include::payload-expression.txt[]
+
+STATEMENTS
+----------
+Statements represent actions to be performed. They can alter control flow (return, jump to a different chain, accept or drop the packet) or can perform actions, such as logging, rejecting a packet, etc. +
+
+Statements  exist in two kinds. Terminal statements unconditionally terminate evaluation of the current rule, non-terminal statements either only conditionally or never terminate evaluation of the current rule, in other words,  they  are  passive from the ruleset evaluation perspective. There can be an arbitrary amount of non-terminal statements in a rule, but only a single terminal statement as the final statement.
+
+include::statements.txt[]
+
+ADDITIONAL COMMANDS
+-------------------
+These are some additional commands included in nft.
+
+MONITOR
+~~~~~~~~
+The monitor command allows you to listen to Netlink events produced by the nf_tables  subsystem, related to creation and deletion of objects. When they occur, nft will print to stdout the monitored events in either XML, JSON or native nft format. +
+
+To filter events related to a concrete object, use one of the keywords 'tables', 'chains', 'sets', 'rules', 'elements', 'ruleset'. +
+
+To filter events related to a concrete action,  use  keyword  'new'  or 'destroy'.
+
+Hit ^C to finish the monitor operation.
+
+.Listen to all events, report in native nft format
+--------------------------------------------------
+% nft monitor
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+.Listen to added tables, report in XML format
+--------------------------------------------
+% nft monitor new tables xml
+--------------------------------------------
+
+.Listen to deleted rules, report in JSON format
+-----------------------------------------------
+% nft monitor destroy rules json
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+.Listen to both new and destroyed chains, in native nft format
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+% nft monitor chains
+-------------------------------
+
+.Listen to ruleset events such as table, chain, rule, set, counters and quotas, in native nft format
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+% nft monitor ruleset
+---------------------
+
+ERROR REPORTING
+---------------
+When an error is detected, nft shows the line(s) containing the  error, the position of the erroneous parts in the input stream and marks up the erroneous parts using carets (^). If the error results from the combination of two expressions or statements, the part imposing the constraints which are violated is marked using tildes (~). +
+
+For errors returned by the kernel, nft can't detect which parts of the input caused the error and the entire command is marked.
+
+.Error caused by single incorrect expression
+--------------------------------------------
+<cmdline>:1:19-22: Error: Interface does not exist
+filter output oif eth0
+		  ^^^^
+--------------------------------------------
+
+.Error caused by invalid combination of two expressions
+-------------------------------------------------------
+<cmdline>:1:28-36: Error: Right hand side of relational expression (==) must be constant
+filter output tcp dport == tcp dport
+                        ~~ ^^^^^^^^^
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+.Error returned by the kernel
+-----------------------------
+<cmdline>:0:0-23: Error: Could not process rule: Operation not permitted
+filter output oif wlan0
+       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+---------------------------------
+
+EXIT STATUS
+-----------
+On success, nft exits with a status of 0. Unspecified errors cause it to exit with a status of 1, memory allocation errors with a status of 2, unable to open Netlink socket with 3.

-		<title>Sets</title>
-		<para>
-		nftables offers two kinds of set concepts.
-		Anonymous sets are sets that have no specific name.  The set members are enclosed in curly braces,
-		with commas to separate elements when creating the rule the set is used in.
-		Once that rule is removed, the set is removed as well.
-		They cannot be updated, i.e. once an anonymous set is declared it cannot be changed anymore except by
-		removing/altering the rule that uses the anonymous set.
-		<example>
-			<title>Using anonymous sets to accept particular subnets and ports</title>
-			<programlisting>
-        nft add rule filter input ip saddr { 10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16 } tcp dport { 22, 443 } accept
-			</programlisting>
-		</example>
-		Named sets are sets that need to be defined first before they can be referenced
-		in rules.  Unlike anonymous sets, elements can be added to or removed from a named set at any time.
-		Sets are referenced from rules using an <literal>@</literal> prefixed to the sets name.
-			<example>
-				<title>Using named sets to accept addresses and ports</title>
-				<programlisting>
-        nft add rule filter input ip saddr @allowed_hosts tcp dport @allowed_ports accept
-				</programlisting>
-			The sets <literal>allowed_hosts</literal> and <literal>allowed_ports</literal> need to
-			be created first.  The next section describes nft set syntax in more detail.

-			Flowtables allow you to accelerate packet forwarding in software.
-			Flowtables entries are represented through a tuple that is composed of the
-			input interface, source and destination address, source and destination
-			port; and layer 3/4 protocols. Each entry also caches the destination
-			interface and the gateway address - to update the destination link-layer
-			address - to forward packets. The ttl and hoplimit fields are also
-			decremented. Hence, flowtables provides an alternative path that allow
-			packets to bypass the classic forwarding path. Flowtables reside in the
-			ingress hook, that is located before the prerouting hook. You can select
-			what flows you want to offload through the <literal>flow offload</literal>
-			expression from the <literal>forward</literal> chain. Flowtables are
-			identified by their address family and their name. The address family
-			must be one of
-
-			<simplelist type="inline">
-				<member><literal>ip</literal></member>
-				<member><literal>ip6</literal></member>
-				<member><literal>inet</literal></member>
-			</simplelist>.
-
-			The <literal>inet</literal> address family is a dummy family which is used to create
-			hybrid IPv4/IPv6 tables.
-
-			When no address family is specified, <literal>ip</literal> is used by default.

-		<para>
-			Data types determine the size, parsing and representation of symbolic values and type compatibility
-			of expressions. A number of global data types exist, in addition some expression types define further
-			data types specific to the expression type. Most data types have a fixed size, some however may have
-			a dynamic size, f.i. the string type.
-		</para>
-		<para>
-			Types may be derived from lower order types, f.i. the IPv4 address type is derived from the integer
-			type, meaning an IPv4 address can also be specified as an integer value.
-		</para>
-		<para>
-			In certain contexts (set and map definitions) it is necessary to explicitly specify a data type.
-			Each type has a name which is used for this.

-			The raw payload expression instructs to load <replaceable>length</replaceable>bits starting at <replaceable>offset</replaceable>bits.
-			Bit 0 refers to the very first bit -- in the C programming language, this corresponds to the topmost bit, i.e. 0x80 in case of an octet.
-			They are useful to match headers that do not have a human-readable template expression yet.
-			Note that nft will not add dependencies for Raw payload expressions.
-			If you e.g. want to match protocol fields of a transport header with protocol number 5, you need to manually
-			exclude packets that have a different transport header, for instance my using <literal>meta l4proto 5</literal> before
-			the raw expression.

-				There are three types of conntrack expressions. Some conntrack expressions require the flow
-				direction before the conntrack key, others must be used directly because they are direction agnostic.
-				The <command>packets</command>, <command>bytes</command> and <command>avgpkt</command> keywords can be
-				used with or without a direction. If the direction is omitted, the sum of the original and the reply
-				direction is returned.  The same is true for the <command>zone</command>, if a direction is given, the zone
-				is only matched if the zone id is tied to the given direction.

-				The log statement enables logging of matching packets. When this statement is used from a rule, the Linux kernel will print some information on all matching packets, such as header fields, via the kernel log (where it can be read with dmesg(1) or read in the syslog). If the group number is specified, the Linux kernel will pass the packet to nfnetlink_log which will multicast the packet through a netlink socket to the specified multicast group. One or more userspace processes may subscribe to the group to receive the packets, see libnetfilter_queue documentation for details. This is a non-terminating statement, so the rule evaluation continues after the packet is logged.

-				The nat statements are only valid from nat chain types.
-			</para>
-			<para>
-				The <command>snat</command> and <command>masquerade</command> statements specify that the source address of the packet should be modified. While <command>snat</command> is only valid in the postrouting and input chains, <command>masquerade</command> makes sense only in postrouting. The <command>dnat</command> and <command>redirect</command> statements are only valid in the prerouting and output chains, they specify that the destination address of the packet should be modified. You can use non-base chains which are called from base chains of nat chain type too. All future packets in this connection will also be mangled, and rules should cease being examined.
-			</para>
-			<para>
-				The <command>masquerade</command> statement is a special form of <command>snat</command> which always uses the outgoing interface's IP address to translate to. It is particularly useful on gateways with dynamic (public) IP addresses.
-			</para>
-			<para>
-				The <command>redirect</command> statement is a special form of <command>dnat</command> which always translates the destination address to the local host's one. It comes in handy if one only wants to alter the destination port of incoming traffic on different interfaces.
-			</para>
-			<para>
-				Note that all nat statements require both prerouting and postrouting base chains to be present since otherwise packets on the return path won't be seen by netfilter and therefore no reverse translation will take place.

+RAW PAYLOAD EXPRESSION
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+[verse]
+*@* [base,offset,length]
+
+The raw payload expression instructs to load lengthbits starting at offsetbits. Bit 0 refers to the very first bit -- in the C programming language, this corresponds to the topmost bit, i.e. 0x80 in case of an octet. They are useful to match headers that do not have a human-readable template expression yet. Note that nft will not add dependencies for Raw payload expressions. If you e.g. want to match protocol fields of a transport header with protocol number 5, you need to manually exclude packets that have a different transport header, for instance my using meta l4proto 5 before the raw expression.

+CONNTRACK EXPRESSIONS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Conntrack expressions refer to meta data of the connection tracking entry associated with a packet. +
+
+There are three types of conntrack expressions. Some conntrack expressions require the flow direction before the conntrack key, others must be used directly because they are direction agnostic.  The *packets*, *bytes* and *avgpkt* keywords can be used with or without a direction. If the direction is omitted, the sum of the original and the reply direction is returned. The same is true for the *zone*, if a direction is given, the zone is only matched if the zone id is tied to the given direction. +
+

+A meta expression refers to meta data associated with a packet.
+
+There are two types of meta expressions: unqualified and qualified meta expressions. Qualified meta expressions require the meta keyword before the meta key, unqualified meta expressions can be specified by using the meta key directly or as qualified  meta  expressions. Meta l4proto is useful to match a particular transport protocol that is part of either an IPv4 or IPv6 packet. It will also skip any IPv6 extension headers present in an IPv6 packet.

+*continue*:: Continue ruleset evaluation with the next rule. FIXME
+*return*:: Return from the current chain and continue evaluation at the next rule in the last chain. If issued in a base chain, it is equivalent to *accept*.
+*jump* 'chain':: Continue evaluation at the first rule in 'chain'.  The current position in the ruleset is pushed to a call stack and evaluation will continue there when the new chain is entirely evaluated of a *return* verdict is issued.
+*goto* 'chain':: Similar to *jump*, but the current position is not pushed to the call stack, meaning that after the new chain evaluation will continue at the last chain instead of the one containing the goto statement.

+log [prefix quoted_string] [level syslog-level] [flags log-flags]

+
+The log statement enables logging of matching packets. When this statement is used from a rule, the Linux kernel will print some information on all matching packets, such as header fields, via the kernel log (where it can be read with dmesg(1) or read in the syslog). If the group number is specified, the Linux kernel will pass the packet to nfnetlink_log which will multicast the packet through a netlink socket to the specified multicast group. One or more userspace processes may subscribe to the group to  receive the packets, see libnetfilter_queue documentation for details. This is a non-terminating statement, so the rule evaluation continues after the packet is logged.

+*redirect* to [:port - port] [persistent, random, fully-random]
+
+The nat statements are only valid from nat chain types. +
+
+The *snat* and *masquerade* statements specify that the source address of the packet should be modified. While *snat* is only valid  in the postrouting and input chains, *masquerade* makes sense only in postrouting. The dnat and redirect statements are only valid in the prerouting and output chains, they specify that the destination address of the packet should be modified. You  can  use  nonbase  chains which are called from base chains of nat chain type too. All future packets in this connection will also be mangled, and rules should cease being examined.
+
+The *masquerade* statement is a special form of snat which always uses the outgoing interface's IP address to translate to. It is particularly useful on gateways with dynamic (public) IP addresses.
+
+The *redirect* statement  is a special form of dnat which always translates the destination address to the local host's one. It comes in handy if one only wants to alter the destination port of incoming traffic on different interfaces.
+
+Note that all nat statements require both prerouting and postrouting base chains to be present since otherwise packets on the return path won't be seen by netfilter and therefore no reverse translation will take place.

+unsigned integer (16 bit)
+|=====================
+
+.queue statement flags
+[options="header"]
+|==================
+|Flag   | Description
+|bypass |
+Let  packets go through if userspace application cannot back off. Before using this flag, read libnetfilter_queue documentation for performance tuning recommendations.
+|fanout |
+Distribute packets between several queues.
+|===============================
+
+DUP STATEMENT
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The dup statement is used to duplicate a packet and send the copy to a different destination.
+
+[verse]
+*dup* to 'device'
+*dup* to 'address' device '*device*'
+
+.Dup statement values
+[options="header"]
+|==================
+|Expression | Description | Type
+|address |
+Specifies that the copy of the packet should be sent to a new gateway.|
+ipv4_addr, ipv6_addr, e.g. abcd::1234, or you can use a mapping. e.g. ip saddr map { 192.168.1.2 : 10.1.1.1 }
+|device |
+Specifies that the copy should be transmitted via device. |
+string
+|===================
+
+
+.Using the dup statement
+------------------------
+# send to machine with ip address 10.2.3.4 on eth0
+ip filter forward dup to 10.2.3.4 device "eth0"
+
+# copy raw frame to another interface
+netdetv ingress dup to "eth0"
+dup to "eth0"
+
+# combine with map dst addr to gateways
+dup to ip daddr map { 192.168.7.1 : "eth0", 192.168.7.2 : "eth1" }
+-----------------------------------
+
+FWD STATEMENT
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The fwd statement is used to redirect a raw packet to another interface. It is only available in the netdev family ingress  hook.
+It is similar to the dup statement except that no copy is made.
+
+*fwd* to 'device'
+
+SET STATEMENT
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The set statement is used to dynamically add or update elements in a set from the packet path. The set setname must already exist in the given table and must have been created with the dynamic flag.  Furthermore, these sets must specify both a maximum set size  (to prevent memory exhaustion) and a timeout (so that number of entries in set will not grow indefinitely). The set statement can be used to e.g. create dynamic blacklists.
+
+[verse]
+{add | update} '@setname' { 'expression' [timeout 'timeout'] [comment 'string'] }
+
+.Example for simple blacklist
+-----------------------------
+# declare a set, bound to table "filter", in family "ip". Timeout and size are mandatory because we will add elements from packet path.
+nft add set ip filter blackhole "{ type ipv4_addr; flags timeout; size 65536; }"
+
+# whitelist internal interface.
+nft add rule ip filter input meta iifname "internal" accept
+
+# drop packets coming from blacklisted ip addresses.
+nft add rule ip filter input ip saddr @blackhole counter drop
+
+# add source ip addresses to the blacklist if more than 10 tcp connection requests occurred per second and ip address.
+# entries will timeout after one minute, after which they might be re-added if limit condition persists.
+nft add rule ip filter input tcp flags syn tcp dport ssh meter flood size 128000 { ip saddr timeout 10s limit rate over 10/second} add @blackhole { ip saddr timeout 1m } drop
+
+# inspect state of the rate limit meter:
+nft list meter ip filter flood
+
+# inspect content of blackhole:
+nft list set ip filter blackhole
+
+# manually add two addresses to the set:
+nft add element filter blackhole { 10.2.3.4, 10.23.1.42 }
