Hello.
I would need to perform some manipulations with IPSet tables
from my own application written in C.
It seems that I understand the interface and can successfully use it.
But is it safe and can I rely on the library interface, or can it change
significantly in the near future?
Thanks,
Daniel Fiala

The library evolves as ipset itself does, see the different versions in
lib/libipset.map. Significant change in the API may be required if
there'll be a need to change the kernel-userspace communication protocol
and that'll mean a bumped IPSET_PROTOCOL. There's no such plan presently.
Best regards,
Jozsef
