int nflog_bind_pf	(	struct nflog_handle *	h,
		u_int16_t	pf
	)

nflog_bind_pf - bind a nflog handler to a given protocol family

Parameters:

	h	Netfilter log handle obtained via call to nflog_open()
	pf	protocol family to bind to nflog handler obtained from nflog_open()

Binds the given log connection handle to process packets belonging to the given protocol family (ie. PF_INET, PF_INET6, etc).

Returns:

integer inferior to 0 in case of failure

[read]

nflog_open - open a nflog handler

This function obtains a netfilter log connection handle. When you are finished with the handle returned by this function, you should destroy it by calling nflog_close(). A new netlink connection is obtained internally and associated with the log connection handle returned.

Returns:

a pointer to a new log handle or NULL on failure.

int nflog_unbind_pf	(	struct nflog_handle *	h,
		u_int16_t	pf
	)

nflog_unbind_pf - unbind nflog handler from a protocol family

Parameters:

	h	Netfilter log handle obtained via call to nflog_open()
	pf	protocol family to unbind family from

Unbinds the given nflog handle from processing packets belonging to the given protocol family.
