This target can be used to identify when interfaces have been idle for a certain period of time. Timers are identified by labels and are created when a rule is set with a new label. The rules also take a timeout value (in seconds) as an option. If more than one rule uses the same timer label, the timer will be restarted whenever any of the rules get a hit. One entry for each timer is created in sysfs. This attribute contains the timer remaining for the timer to expire. The attributes are located under the xt_idletimer class: .PP /sys/class/xt_idletimer/timers/<label> .PP When the timer expires, the target module sends a sysfs notification to the userspace, which can then decide what to do (eg. disconnect to save power). .TP \fB\-\-timeout\fP \fIamount\fP This is the time in seconds that will trigger the notification. .TP \fB\-\-label\fP \fIstring\fP This is a unique identifier for the timer. The maximum length for the label string is 27 characters. .TP \fB\-\---send_nl_msg\fP \fI(0/1)\fP Send netlink messages in addition to sysfs notifications and show remaining time. Defaults to 0.
