+      libnfnetlink is the low-level library for netfilter related kernel/userspace communication.
+      It provides a generic messaging infrastructure for in-kernel netfilter subsystems
+      (such as nfnetlink_log, nfnetlink_queue, nfnetlink_conntrack) and their respective users
+      and/or management tools in userspace.
+
+      This library is not meant as a public API for application developers.
+      It is only used by other netfilter.org projects, like the aforementioned ones.
