Subject: [PATCH nft,v2 2/5] libnftables: split nft_run_cmd_from_buffer() in helper functions
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2026 19:21:25 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260623172128.401234-3-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260623172128.401234-1-pablo@netfilter.org>
Add a helper function called nft_run_cmds() to wrap the code that
evaluates the list of commands and serialize them into the netlink
batch.
Add another helper function called nft_finish_cmds() to print the error,
release them, as well as displaying the json output and releasing the
cache.
Add a first user: nft_run_cmd_from_buffer(), there is a follow up patch
which updates nft_run_cmd_from_filename() to use these helper functions.
No functional changes are intended, this comes in preparation to
support several reset commands in a batch.
