[PATCH nft] main: misleading error reporting in chain definitions

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

 



 # nft add chain x y { type filter hook input priority -30\; }
 nft: invalid option -- '3'

Fix this by restricting getopt_long() to the first curly brace.
