Hi,

This question is not netfilter related at all, maybe linux-net is a 
better place, anyway...

because that function doesn't exist in kernel space. The kernel is 
written in C but it doesn't implement all the standard C functions 
available in user space.

If you do want to use something that function, you should implement by 
yourself or steal it from elsewhere.
