* \defgroup iftable Functions to manage a table of network interfaces
* These functions maintain a database of the name and flags of each
* network interface.
+ *
+ * Programs access an nlif database through an opaque __struct nlif_handle__
+ * interface resolving handle. Call nlif_open() to get a handle:
+ * \verbatim
+ h = nlif_open();
+ if (h == NULL) {
+ perror("nlif_open");
+ exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
+ }
+\endverbatim
+ * Once the handler is open, you need to fetch the interface table at a
+ * whole via a call to nlif_query.
+ * \verbatim
+ nlif_query(h);
+\endverbatim
+ * libnetfilter_queue is able to update the interface mapping
+ * when a new interface appears.
+ * To do so, you need to call nlif_catch() on the handler after each
+ * interface related event. The simplest way to get and treat event is to run
+ * a **select()** or **poll()** against the nlif and netilter_queue
+ * file descriptors.
+ * E.g. use nlif_fd() to get the nlif file descriptor, then give this fd to
+ * **poll()** as in this code snippet (error-checking removed):
+ * \verbatim
+ if_fd = nlif_fd(h);
+ qfd = mnl_socket_get_fd(nl); // For mnl API or ...
+ qfd = nfq_fd(qh); // For nfnl API
+ . . .
+ fds[0].fd = ifd;
+ fds[0].events = POLLIN;
+ fds[1].fd = qfd;
+ fds[1].events = POLLIN;
+ for(;;)
+ {
+ poll((struct pollfd *)&fds, 2, -1);
+ if (fds[0].revents & POLLIN)
+ nlif_catch(h);
