fwb_ipfw(1) Firewall Builder fwb_ipfw(1) NNAAMMEE fwb_ipfw - Policy compiler for ipfw SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS ffwwbb__iippffww [[--vvVVxx]] [[--dd wwddiirr]] --ff ddaattaa__ffiillee..xxmmll object_name DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN ffwwbb__iippffww is a firewall policy compiler component of Fire wall Builder (see fwbuilder(1)). This compiler generates code for ipfw - a firewall and traffic shaper in FreeBSD (see ipfw(8)). Compiler reads objects definitions and firewall description from the data file specified with "-f" option and generates firewall configuration and acti vation script. The generated file has a name that starts with the name of the firewall object, with an extension ".fw". It is a shell script that flushes current policy, then loads new filter and nat rules. The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be specified on the command line. Other command line parame ters are optional. OOPPTTIIOONNSS -f FILE Specify the name of the data file to be processed. -d wdir Specify working directory. Compiler creates fire wall activation script in this directory. If this parameter is missing, then all files will be placed in the current working directory. -v Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages when it works. -V Print version number and quit. -x Generate debugging information while working. This option is intended for debugging only and may pro duce lots of cryptic messages.
