Hi all,

I am using libipq for userspace programming on netfilter. I am having
problems to determine whether there are any packets in the ip_queue before I
call the function ipq_read(). I just don't wish to call ipq_read() when
there is no packet in the ip_queue, because I need my program to do other
things rather than waiting for a packet arriving (after calling ipq_read(),
the program will stop and wait for some time or until a packet coming from
the kernel). Are there anybody on the list who has any idea about this?

BTW, may I ask whether this is the proper list to ask about netfilter/libipq
programming, since it seems few people on the list talking about this kind
of questions?
