Hi, I have been reading net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.c to find out how i can retrieve information that are display by iptables (via libiptc) in the kernel. I would like to clarify a couple of doubts. I noticed that in /sbin/iptables, it displays firewalling rules by the number of chains you have. When I look at the kernel code, it seems like these rules are linked to a table. I am trying to retrieve the same information that i can see in /sbin/iptable -vL, in the kernel, and I am wondering if you can give me some hints/clues as to how I can do that. Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 608 packets, 47499 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 400 packets, 210K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Really appreciate your help.
