Hi, I have created, using the iptables command, a set of chains for accounting purpouses only. For example, I have created a chain for account the TCP incomming traffic and another one for account UDP incomming traffic. I'm programming a C daemon that periodically takes the amount of bytes accounted by every chain and stores it in a database. At this moment I'm running the command iptables from inside my C program to store the chain information in a file, and then parse this file to get the data. Is there any iptables C library I can use to get this accounting information directly, without having to run the iptables command ? Is this information stored in a /proc file ?
