    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Exclusion is used when you wish to exclude one or more addresses
    from a definition. An exclaimation point is followed by a comma-separated
    list of addresses. The addresses may be single host addresses (e.g.,
    fe80::2a0:ccff:fedb:31c4) or they may be network addresses in CIDR format
    (e.g., fe80::2a0:ccff:fedb:31c4/64). If your kernel and ip6tables include
    iprange support, you may also specify ranges of ip addresses of the form
    <emphasis>lowaddress</emphasis>-<emphasis>highaddress</emphasis></para>

    <para>No embedded whitespace is allowed.</para>

    <para>Exclusion can appear after a list of addresses and/or address
    ranges. In that case, the final list of address is formed by taking the
    first list and then removing the addresses defined in the
    exclusion.</para>
