DESCRIPTION

14       fwb_ipt is a firewall policy compiler  component  of  Firewall  Builder
15       (see  fwbuilder(1)).  Compiler  reads  objects definitions and firewall
16       description from the data file specified with "-f" option and generates
17       resultant  iptables  script. The script is written to the file with the
18       name the same as the name of the firewall object, plus extension ".fw".
19
20       The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be specified on
21       the command line. Other command line parameters are optional.

OPTIONS

25       -4     Generate  iptables  script  for  IPv4 part of the policy. If any
26              rules of the firewall refer to  IPv6  addresses,  compiler  will
27              skip  these rules.  Options "-4" and "-6" are exclusive. If nei‐
28              ther option is used, compiler tries to generate  both  parts  of
29              the  script,  although generation of the IPv6 part is controlled
30              by the option "Enable IPv6 support" in the  "IPv6"  tab  of  the
31              firewall object advanced settings dialog.  This option is off by
32              default.
33
34
35       -6     Generate iptables script for IPv6 part of  the  policy.  If  any
36              rules  of  the  firewall  refer to IPv6 addresses, compiler will
37              skip these rules.
38
39
40       -f FILE
41              Specify the name of the data file to be processed.
42
43
44       -o output.fw
45              Specify output file name
46
47
48       -d wdir
49              Specify working directory. Compiler creates file  with  iptables
50              script  in  this  directory.  If this parameter is missing, then
51              iptables script will be placed in the current working directory.
52
53
54       -v     Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages when it works.
55
56
57       -V     Print version number and quit.
58
59
60       -i     When this option is present, the last argument  on  the  command
61              line is supposed to be firewall object ID rather than its name
