Primary LanguageRust

nftables-async

An async version of the helper to run nftables in the nftables crate. Simply add both nftables-async and nftables to your crate, then use the nftables_async::apply_ruleset or nftables_async::get_current_ruleset to perform manipulations. Everything is compatible with the sync helper, even the error types, the functions, however, return "true" async futures.

To provide the asynchronous I/O, an implementation of the Process trait in the crate is needed. Two implementations are provided built-in behind feature gates:

  1. TokioProcess using the Tokio stack, enabled via tokio-process feature
  2. AsyncProcess using the async-process crate (Smol stack), enabled via async-process feature
