[libnftables PATCH] src: rule: fix compat XML output

[Arturo Borrero]

The compat struct was not printed in XML. So, I think give output format is the first step to parse it.

We don't need the space after ">" and the \n and the extra formatting.

As example, check the output of conntrack in XML:

# conntrack -L -o xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<conntrack>
<flow type="new"><meta direction="original"><layer3 protonum="2" protoname="ipv4"><src>77.209.70.77</src><dst>150.214.142.14</dst></layer3><layer4 protonum="1" protoname="icmp"></layer4></meta><meta direction="reply"><layer3 protonum="2" protoname="ipv4"><src>150.214.142.14</src><dst>77.209.70.77</dst></layer3><layer4 protonum="1" protoname="icmp"></layer4></meta><meta direction="independent"><timeout>30</timeout><id>830164440</id><unreplied/></meta></flow>
<flow type="update"><meta direction="original"><layer3 protonum="2" protoname="ipv4"><src>77.209.70.77</src><dst>150.214.142.14</dst></layer3><layer4 protonum="1" protoname="icmp"></layer4></meta><meta direction="reply"><layer3 protonum="2" protoname="ipv4"><src>150.214.142.14</src><dst>77.209.70.77</dst></layer3><layer4 protonum="1" protoname="icmp"></layer4></meta><meta direction="independent"><timeout>29</timeout><id>830164440</id></meta></flow>
</conntrack>

Note that every flow is expressed in one single line in XML.

Now do:

# conntrack -L -o xml > /tmp/x.xml

And have a look at some XML visualizer, eg:

$ firefox /tmp/x.xml

Does it clarify?

I agree with you.

If you choose to commit this, I will patch (out) all XML extra
formatting (newlines, tabs...).

I have applied this, as you sent already a major follow-up to address
all formatting XML issues.
