Both APIs are currently supported, nf-queue uses libmnl. The former
uses the old libnfnetlink. I needed a rather more flexible API for the
connection tracking support in user-space in conntrackd over libmnl.

The new API also provides also helpers for ipv4, ipv6, tcp and udp,
which seems to be a common requirement for everyone. See the
libnetfilter_queue/src/extra/ directory in case you want to check
implementation details.

You can generate up to date doxygen documentation with the following
command:

libnetfilter_queue$ doxygen doxygen.cfg

Regards.
