Types

type Chain

type Chain string

const (
	ChainPostrouting Chain = "POSTROUTING"
	ChainPrerouting  Chain = "PREROUTING"
	ChainOutput      Chain = "OUTPUT"
)

type Interface

type Interface interface {
	// EnsureChain checks if the specified chain exists and, if not, creates it.  If the chain existed, return true.
	EnsureChain(table Table, chain Chain) (bool, error)
	// FlushChain clears the specified chain.  If the chain did not exist, return error.
	FlushChain(table Table, chain Chain) error
	// DeleteChain deletes the specified chain.  If the chain did not exist, return error.
	DeleteChain(table Table, chain Chain) error
	// EnsureRule checks if the specified rule is present and, if not, creates it.  If the rule existed, return true.
	EnsureRule(table Table, chain Chain, args ...string) (bool, error)
	// DeleteRule checks if the specified rule is present and, if so, deletes it.
	DeleteRule(table Table, chain Chain, args ...string) error
	// IsIpv6 returns true if this is managing ipv6 tables
	IsIpv6() bool
}

An injectable interface for running iptables commands. Implementations must be goroutine-safe.

func New

func New(exec utilexec.Interface, protocol Protocol) Interface

New returns a new Interface which will exec iptables.

type Protocol

type Protocol byte

const (
	ProtocolIpv4 Protocol = iota + 1
	ProtocolIpv6
)

type Table

type Table string

const (
	TableNAT Table = "nat"
)
