For ULOG, you can have a look at ulogd or ulogd2 code.
	http://git.netfilter.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=ulogd2.git;a=blob;f=input/packet/ulogd_inppkt_ULOG.c;h=c00d9bf8a965be7f961738892e19191efcf8f691;hb=0b789ea9bf810497845456e9b83bff8c5ae5ca23
By the way, as ulogd2 uses a plugin mechanism, you may be able to build
what you want by coding an ulogd2 plugin. It can provide you a way to
code something independant from low level (NFLOG or ULOG can be used as
input without changing your plugin).

A mini doc about ulogd2 hacking is available here:
	http://home.regit.org/?page_id=90

For NFLOG, you need to use latest git for kernel and libnetfilter_log.

The following functions are available:

- nflog_get_hwtype: to fetch hardware type (and thus give the parser to
  use)
- nflog_get_msg_packet_hwhdrlen: to get hardware header len
- nflog_get_msg_packet_hwhdr: get hardware datas

BR,
