[PATCH 0/3 nft] [RFC] more syntax changes

[Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org>]

Hi,

The following patchset contains more small syntax and evaluation changes
aiming to improve the interaction user <-> tool via most common shells:

* iifname and oifname mask matching: very simple approach to allow matching
  interface names via meta oifname and eth == eth.

* Rename typical binary operation so we don't need to escape them in
  bash: '&' by 'and', '|' by 'or' and '!' by 'not'. They are just a
  few character longers and the syntax still looks nice to me.

* Rename 'eth' by 'ether', to mimic tcpdump. This also skips problems with
  a valid and simple possible iifname/oifname mask.

Comments welcome. Thanks!

Pablo Neira Ayuso (3):
  scanner: replace binary characters '&' '|' and '!' by their names
  evaluate: allow to use string with binary operations
  scanner: rename address selector from 'eth' to 'ether'
