    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Accounting rules exist simply to count packets and bytes in
    categories that you define in this file. You may display these rules and
    their packet and byte counters using the <command>shorewall show
    accounting</command> command.</para>

    <para>The columns in the file are as follows.</para>
