We have to follow a slightly different approach.
For the batch mode, we have to do similar to iptables, see
do_parse() there.
This parser will create a list of command objects, something like:
struct ct_cmd {
struct list_head list;
...
/* attributes that result from parser that describe this command */
};
Once we have the list of commands, iterate over this list of commands
and send the netlink commands.
Thanks.
