This patch adds the following shortcut syntax: expression flags / flags instead of: expression and flags == flags For example: tcp flags syn,ack / syn,ack,fin,rst ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ value mask instead of: tcp flags and (syn|ack|fin|rst) == syn|ack The second list of comma-separated flags represents the mask which are examined and the first list of comma-separated flags must be set. You can also use the != operator with this syntax: tcp flags != fin,rst / syn,ack,fin,rst This short is based on the prefix notation, but it is also similar to the iptables tcp matching syntax.
