    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The shorewall utility is used to control the Shoreline Firewall
    (Shorewall).</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Options</title>

    <para>The <option>trace</option> and <option>debug</option> options are
    used for debugging. See <ulink
    url="http://www.shorewall.net/starting_and_stopping.htm#Trace">http://www.shorewall.net/starting_and_stopping.htm#Trace</ulink>.</para>

    <para>The nolock <option>option</option> prevents the command from
    attempting to acquire the Shorewall lockfile. It is useful if you need to
    include <command>shorewall</command> commands in
    <filename>/etc/shorewall/started</filename>.</para>

    <para>The <emphasis>options</emphasis> control the amount of output that
    the command produces. They consist of a sequence of the letters <emphasis
    role="bold">v</emphasis> and <emphasis role="bold">q</emphasis>. If the
    options are omitted, the amount of output is determined by the setting of
    the VERBOSITY parameter in <ulink
    url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5). Each <emphasis
    role="bold">v</emphasis> adds one to the effective verbosity and each
    <emphasis role="bold">q</emphasis> subtracts one from the effective
    VERBOSITY. Anternately, <emphasis role="bold">v</emphasis> may be followed
    immediately with one of -1,0,1,2 to specify a specify VERBOSITY. There may
    be no white space between <emphasis role="bold">v</emphasis> and the
    VERBOSITY.</para>

    <para>The <emphasis>options</emphasis> may also include the letter
    <option>t</option> which causes all progress messages to be
    timestamped.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Commands</title>

    <para>The available commands are listed below.</para>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">add</emphasis></term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Adds a list of hosts or subnets to a dynamic zone usually used
          with VPN's.</para>

          <para>The <emphasis>interface</emphasis> argument names an interface
          defined in the <ulink
          url="shorewall-interfaces.html">shorewall-interfaces</ulink>(5)
          file. A <emphasis>host-list</emphasis> is comma-separated list whose
          elements are host or network addresses.<caution>
              <para>The <command>add</command> command is not very robust. If
              there are errors in the <replaceable>host-list</replaceable>,
              you may see a large number of error messages yet a subsequent
              <command>shorewall show zones</command> command will indicate
              that all hosts were added. If this happens, replace
              <command>add</command> by <command>delete</command> and run the
              same command again. Then enter the correct command.</para>
            </caution></para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">allow</emphasis></term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Re-enables receipt of packets from hosts previously
          blacklisted by a <emphasis role="bold">drop</emphasis>, <emphasis
          role="bold">logdrop</emphasis>, <emphasis
          role="bold">reject</emphasis>, or <emphasis
          role="bold">logreject</emphasis> command.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">check</emphasis></term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Compiles the configuraton in the specified
          <emphasis>directory</emphasis> and discards the compiled output
          script. If no <emphasis>directory</emphasis> is given, then
          /etc/shorewall is assumed.</para>

          <para>The <emphasis role="bold">-e</emphasis> option causes the
          compiler to look for a file named capabilities. This file is
          produced using the command <emphasis role="bold">shorewall-lite show
          -f capabilities &gt; capabilities</emphasis> on a system with
          Shorewall Lite installed.</para>

          <para>The <option>-d</option> option only works when the compiler is
          Shorewall-perl. It causes the compiler to be run under control of
          the Perl debugger.</para>

          <para>The <option>-p</option> option only works when the compiler is
          Shorewall-perl. It causes the compiler to be profiled via the Perl
          <option>-wd:DProf</option> command-line option.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><emphasis role="bold">clear</emphasis></term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Clear will remove all rules and chains installed by Shorewall.
          The firewall is then wide open and unprotected. Existing connections
          are untouched. Clear is often used to see if the firewall is causing
          connection problems.</para>

          <para>The <option>-f</option> option was added in Shorewall 4.0.3.
          If <option>-f</option> is given, the command will be processed by
          the compiled script that executed the last successful <emphasis
          role="bold">start</emphasis>, <emphasis
          role="bold">restart</emphasis> or <emphasis
          role="bold">refresh</emphasis> command if that script exists.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>
