nl-pktloc-lookup searches the packet location database for a matching entry. It is used to resolve packet location aliases to their definition, i.e. alignment, layer, offset, and mask.
-\^h " or " --help Print help text to console and exit.
-\^v " or " --version Print versioning information to console and exit.
-\^l " or " --list List all packet location definitions.
--u32=VALUE Prints the packet location definition in a special format that is understood by iproute2's u32 selector parser. It will output a u32 selector which will compare the provided value with the value specified by the packet location. Please note that due to the limitation of u32, it is not possible to use packet locations based on the link layer. nl-pktloc-lookup will print an error message in this case. Example: selector=$(nl-pktloc-lookup --u32 22 tcp.sport) tc filter add [...] u32 match $(selector) flowid 1:2
