Yes, thats what I meant.

Yes. nfq_set_verdict is used to tell the kernel to pass the packet
on and possibly exchange it. Both print_pkt and nfq_set_verdict
are called from the packet callback in the example code.

I don't think there is specific libnetfilter_queue documentation yet
(but its very simple and exports only a few functions, look at the
code). But we have ip_queue documentation, which should at least
help you understand it better conceptually.
