+libnftnl (pre-requisite for nftables)
+
+libnftnl is a userspace library providing a low-level netlink interface (API) to
+the in-kernel nf_tables subsystem. The library libnftnl has been previously
+known as libnftables. This library is currently used by nftables.
+
+To benefit from libnftnl (but not to build it), you need a kernel that includes
+the nf_tables subsystem (initial support >= 3.14).
