+//! Adds a table, two chains and some rules to netfilter.
+//!
+//! This example uses `verdict accept` everywhere. So even after running this the firewall won't
+//! block anything. This is so anyone trying to run this does not end up in a strange state
+//! where they don't understand why their network is broken. Try changing to `verdict drop` if
+//! you want to see the block working.
+//!
+//! Run the following to print out current active tables, chains and rules in netfilter. Must be
+//! executed as root:
+//! ```bash
+//! # nft list ruleset
+//! ```
+//! After running this example, the output should be the following:
+//! ```ignore
+//! table inet example-table {
+//!         chain chain-for-outgoing-packets {
+//!                 type filter hook output priority 0; policy accept;
+//!                 ip daddr 10.1.0.0/24 counter packets 0 bytes 0 accept
+//!         }
+//!
+//!         chain chain-for-incoming-packets {
+//!                 type filter hook input priority 0; policy accept;
+//!                 iif "lo" accept
+//!         }
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Try pinging any IP in the network range denoted by the outgoing rule and see the counter
+//! increment:
+//! ```bash
+//! $ ping 10.1.0.7
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Everything created by this example can be removed by running
+//! ```bash
+//! # nft delete table inet example-table
+//! ```
