Function Documentation

int nflog_get_ctid (struct nflog_data * nfad, uint32_t * id)

nflog_get_ct_id - get the conntrack id

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function
id conntrack id, if the function returns zero

You must enable this via nflog_set_flags().

Returns

0 on success or -1 if conntrack itself or its id was unavailable

Definition at line 990 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

int nflog_get_gid (struct nflog_data * nfad, uint32_t * gid)

nflog_get_gid - get the GID of the user that has generated the packet

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function
gid GID of the user that generated the packet, if the function returns zero

Returns

0 on success or -1 if GID was unavailable (gid is then invalid)

Definition at line 932 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

uint16_t nflog_get_hwtype (struct nflog_data * nfad)

nflog_get_hwtype - get the hardware link layer type from logging data

Parameters

nfad pointer to logging data

Returns

the hardware link layer type.

Definition at line 724 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

uint32_t nflog_get_indev (struct nflog_data * nfad)

nflog_get_indev - get the interface that the packet was received through

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function

Returns

The index of the device the packet was received via. If the returned index is 0, the packet was locally generated or the input interface is not known (ie. POSTROUTING?).

Warning

all nflog_get_dev() functions return 0 if not set, since Linux only allows ifindex >= 1, see net/core/dev.c:9819 (in 5.14.3)

Definition at line 799 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

struct nfulnl_msg_packet_hdr * nflog_get_msg_packet_hdr (struct nflog_data * nfad)

nflog_get_msg_packet_hdr - return the metaheader that wraps the packet

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function

Returns

the netfilter log netlink packet header for the given nflog_data argument. Typically, the nflog_data value is passed as the 3rd parameter to the callback function set by a call to nflog_callback_register().

The nfulnl_msg_packet_hdr structure is defined in libnetfilter_log.h as:



        struct nfulnl_msg_packet_hdr {


                uint16_t       hw_protocol;    // hw protocol (network order)


                uint8_t        hook;           // netfilter hook


                uint8_t        _pad;


        } __attribute__ ((packed));

Definition at line 712 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

char * nflog_get_msg_packet_hwhdr (struct nflog_data * nfad)

nflog_get_msg_packet_hwhdr - get the hardware link layer header

Parameters

nfad pointer to logging data

Returns

the hardware link layer header

Definition at line 746 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

uint16_t nflog_get_msg_packet_hwhdrlen (struct nflog_data * nfad)

nflog_get_hwhdrlen - get the length of the hardware link layer header

Parameters

nfad pointer to logging data

the size of the hardware link layer header

Definition at line 735 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

uint32_t nflog_get_nfmark (struct nflog_data * nfad)

nflog_get_nfmark - get the packet mark

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function

Returns

the netfilter mark currently assigned to the logged packet.

Definition at line 757 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

uint32_t nflog_get_outdev (struct nflog_data * nfad)

nflog_get_outdev - gets the interface that the packet will be routed to

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function

Returns

The index of the device the packet will be sent to. If the returned index is 0, the packet is destined for localhost or the output interface is not yet known (ie. PREROUTING?).

Definition at line 826 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

struct nfulnl_msg_packet_hw * nflog_get_packet_hw (struct nflog_data * nfad)

nflog_get_packet_hw - get hardware address

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function

Retrieves the hardware address associated with the given packet. For ethernet packets, the hardware address returned (if any) will be the MAC address of the packet source host. The destination MAC address is not known until after POSTROUTING and a successful ARP request, so cannot currently be retrieved.

The nfulnl_msg_packet_hw structure is defined in libnetfilter_log.h as:



        struct nfulnl_msg_packet_hw {


                uint16_t       hw_addrlen; // Network Byte Order


                uint16_t       _pad;


                uint8_t        hw_addr[8];


        } __attribute__ ((packed));

Returns

Pointer to struct nfulnl_msg_packet_hw from originating host or NULL if none available (e.g. locally-originated packet not for lo interface).

Definition at line 867 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

int nflog_get_payload (struct nflog_data * nfad, char ** data)

nflog_get_payload - get payload of the logged packet

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function
data Pointer of pointer that will be pointed to the payload

Retrieve the payload for a logged packet. The actual amount and type of data retrieved by this function will depend on the mode set with the nflog_set_mode() function.

Returns

payload length, or -1 if this is not available

Definition at line 884 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

uint32_t nflog_get_physindev (struct nflog_data * nfad)

nflog_get_physindev - get the physical interface that the packet was received through

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function

Returns

The index of the physical device the packet was received via. If the returned index is 0, the packet was locally generated or the physical input interface is no longer known (ie. POSTROUTING?).

Definition at line 813 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

uint32_t nflog_get_physoutdev (struct nflog_data * nfad)

nflog_get_physoutdev - get the physical interface for packet output

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function

Returns

Index of physical device the packet will be routed to. If the returned index is 0, the packet is destined for localhost or the physical output interface is not yet known (ie. PREROUTING?).

Definition at line 839 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

char * nflog_get_prefix (struct nflog_data * nfad)

nflog_get_prefix - get the logging string prefix

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function

Returns

the string prefix that is specified as argument to the iptables' NFLOG target or NULL if this is not available.

Definition at line 900 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

int nflog_get_seq (struct nflog_data * nfad, uint32_t * seq)

nflog_get_seq - get the local nflog sequence number

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function
seq local nflog sequence number, if the function returns zero

You must enable this via nflog_set_flags().

Returns

0 on success or -1 if sequence number was unavailable (seq is then invalid)

Definition at line 952 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

int nflog_get_seq_global (struct nflog_data * nfad, uint32_t * seq)

nflog_get_seq_global - get the global nflog sequence number

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function
seq global nflog sequence number, if the function returns zero

You must enable this via nflog_set_flags().

Returns

0 on success or -1 if sequence number was unavailable (seq is then invalid)

Definition at line 972 of file libnetfilter_log.c.

int nflog_get_timestamp (struct nflog_data * nfad, struct timeval * tv)

nflog_get_timestamp - get the packet timestamp

Parameters

nfad Netlink packet data handle passed to callback function
tv structure to fill with timestamp info

Retrieves the received timestamp from the given logged packet.

Returns

0 on success, -1 on failure with errno set.

Errors

int nflog_get_uid (struct nflog_data * nfad, uint32_t * uid)

nflog_get_uid - get the UID of the user that generated the packet
