            Bug ID: 1093
           Summary: 'Flush ruleset' is undocumented
           Product: nftables
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Debian GNU/Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: nft
          Assignee: pablo at netfilter.org
          Reporter: incoming-only at bordenrhodes.com

The default /etc/nftables.conf has as its third line 'flush ruleset'. Whilst
the behaviour of flush is well defined, the ruleset 'table' (is it a table? I
don't know!) is completely undocumented in the nft(ables) man page.

For newcomers trying to figure out how to wrangle the software, not knowing
what this feature means or how to play with it certainly steepens the learning
curve. Would it be possible to add a paragraph explaining what the ruleset
'table' is and what can be done to it? If it's not a table, then the man page
should explain what it is!
