			The <tt>iptables</tt> tool can use an nftables backend. Typically the old iptables backend is available via a tool named e.g. <tt>iptables-legacy</tt>, while the new one can often be explicitly invoked using <tt>iptables-nft</tt>. Note, however, that even <tt>iptables-nft</tt> will not necessarily show all nftables, depending on how they were configured (for instance, using the <tt>IPMasquerade</tt> option of <tt>systemd-networkd</tt> with an nftables backend will not result in anything visible using <tt>iptables-nft -t nat -L</tt>). It's thus best to get in the habit of using <tt>nft list ruleset</tt>.
