.SH SYNOPSIS

.RB [-wvV]
.RB [-d wdir]
.RB [-o output.fw]
.RB -f data_file.xml
object_name
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B fwb_ipt
is a firewall policy compiler component of Firewall Builder (see
fwbuilder(1)). Compiler reads objects definitions and firewall
description from the data file specified with "-f" option and
generates resultant iptables script. The script is written to
the file with the name the same as the name of the firewall
object, plus extension ".fw".
The data file and the name of the firewall objects must be specified
on the command line. Other command line parameters are optional.
.SH OPTIONS
.IP "-4"
Generate iptables script for IPv4 part of the policy. If any rules of
the firewall refer to IPv6 addresses, compiler will skip these rules.
Options "-4" and "-6" are exclusive. If neither option is used, compiler
tries to generate both parts of the script, although generation of
the IPv6 part is controlled by the option "Enable IPv6 support"
in the "IPv6" tab of the firewall object advanced settings dialog.
This option is off by default.
.IP "-6"
Generate iptables script for IPv6 part of the policy. If any rules of
the firewall refer to IPv6 addresses, compiler will skip these rules.
.IP "-f FILE"
Specify the name of the data file to be processed.
.IP "-o output.fw"
Specify output file name
.IP "-d wdir"
Specify working directory. Compiler creates file with iptables script
in this directory. If this parameter is missing, then iptables script
will be placed in the current working directory.
.IP "-v"
Be verbose: compiler prints diagnostic messages when it works.
.IP "-V"
Print version number and quit.
