I am writing a firewall program and intending to configure nftables using libnftables userspace library. The plan is to use nft_run_cmd_from_buffer function call, passing JSOn input to its buffer. If I provide a set of rule updates to this function, will they be applied atomically? The manpage does not seem to elaborate on this.
