    <title>Description</title>

    <para>The shorewall6-lite utility is used to control the Shoreline
    Firewall 6 (Shorewall6) Lite.</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 Shorewall6 Lite lockfile. It is useful if you
    need to include <command>shorewall6-lite</command> commands in the
    <filename>started</filename> extension script.</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="shorewall6.conf.html">shorewall6.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>

    <title>Commands</title>

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

    <variablelist>

        <listitem>
          <para>Re-enables receipt of packets from hosts previously

      </varlistentry>

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

        <listitem>
          <para>Clear will remove all rules and chains installed by Shorewall6
          Lite. 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>
        </listitem>

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

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

        <listitem>
          <para>Produces a verbose report about the firewall configuration for
          the purpose of problem analysis.</para>

          <para>The <emphasis role="bold">-x</emphasis> option causes actual
          packet and byte counts to be displayed. Without that option, these
          counts are abbreviated. The <emphasis role="bold">-m</emphasis>
          option causes any MAC addresses included in Shorewall6 Lite log
          messages to be displayed.</para>

          produces an audible alarm when new Shorewall6 Lite messages are
          logged. The <emphasis role="bold">-m</emphasis> option causes the
          MAC address of each packet source to be displayed if that
          information is available. The
          <replaceable>refresh-interval</replaceable> specifies the time in
          seconds between screen refreshes. You can enter a negative number by
          preceding the number with "--" (e.g., <command>shorewall6-lite
          logwatch -- -30</command>). In this case, when a packet count
          changes, you will be prompted to hit any key to resume screen
          refreshes.</para>
