.SH NAME
ipq_set_verdict - issue verdict and optionally modified packet to kernel
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <linux/netfilter.h>
.br
.B #include <libipq.h>
.sp
.BI "int ipq_set_verdict(const struct ipq_handle *" h ", ipq_id_t " id ", unsigned int " verdict ", size_t " data_len ", unsigned char *" buf ");"
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B ipq_set_verdict
function issues a verdict on a packet previously obtained with
.BR ipq_read ,
specifing the intended disposition of the packet, and optionally
supplying a modified version of the payload data.
.PP
The
.I h
parameter is a context handle which must previously have been returned 
successfully from a call to
.BR ipq_create_handle .
.PP
The
.I id
parameter is the packet identifier obtained via
.BR ipq_get_packet .
.PP
The
.I verdict
parameter must be one of:
.TP
.B NF_ACCEPT
Accept the packet and continue traversal within the kernel.
.br
.TP
.B NF_DROP
Drop the packet.
.PP
The
.I data_len
parameter is the length of the data pointed to
by
.IR buf ,
the optional replacement payload data.
.PP
If simply setting a verdict without modifying the payload data, use zero
for
.I data_len
and NULL for
.IR buf .
.PP
The application is responsible for recalculating any packet checksums
when modifying packets.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On failure, -1 is returned.
.br
On success, a non-zero positive value is returned.
.SH ERRORS
On error, a descriptive error message will be available
via the
.B ipq_errstr
function.
.SH BUGS
None known.
