Fields

Field Name	Description
`name` - `String!`	The unique name of the chain within its parent table.

`chainType` - `ChainType!`	The type of the chain, indicating its fundamental role (e.g., filter, nat).
`chainPolicy` - `ChainPolicy`	The default policy for this chain if no rule matches (e.g., accept, drop). Applicable only to base chains.
`device` - `String!`	The network device name this chain is bound to, if applicable (e.g., for 'netdev' family).
