Other modes of use than just run_loop

[vorner]

The run_loop mode has two disadvantages.

• It is not possible to multiplex more than one queue on the same thread.
• There doesn't seem to be a clean way to terminate.

The C library supports other mode ‒ you can get the file descriptor, put it into epoll (or something similar) and when it is ready, try recvmsg on it. Then you call nfq_handle_packet on it and it calls the callback internally. This is more flexible (though slightly more work). Would it be possible to expose this mode of API as well?

[sharksforarms]

I agree, I need this flexibility as well. My use case is to re-order packets (delay the verdict)

What you described is what the library is doing under the hood, recv then nfq_handle_packet
