I don't think you'll find much information. The library that iptables
provides is mostly internal. We know of people that has been tinkering
with it in their projects, but the API has not been stable along years
and it is not documented. I expect to solve this situation soon.
I'm afraid that the only reference you have is the source code by now.
Good luck.
