# iptables-nft.sh -- point the generic iptables names at the nft backend.
#
# BUILDING NFTABLES SUPPORT DOES NOT SWITCH TO IT.  `--enable-nftables`
# produces BOTH backends and upstream's `make install` leaves the plain names
# on the legacy one:
#
#     /usr/sbin/iptables      -> xtables-legacy-multi
#     /usr/sbin/iptables-nft  -> xtables-nft-multi
#
# so `iptables --version` says (legacy), and on a kernel with no ip_tables
# every rule fails -- with a build log that says "nftables support: yes".
# Distributions flip these links (Debian with alternatives, Arch in the
# package); here it is this step.
#
# Reversible, and says how: the legacy binary is not removed, only unlinked
# from the generic name.
