    <title>Description</title>

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

  <refsect1>
    <title>Options</title>

    <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.</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:</para>

          <programlisting>        A host or network address
        The name of a bridge port
        The name of a bridge port followed by a colon (:) and a host or network address</programlisting>
        </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>-C</option> option determines the compiler to use
          (Shorewall-shell or Shorewall-perl). If not specified, the
          SHOREWALL_COMPILER setting in <ulink
          url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5) determines the
          compiler to use.</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>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

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

        <listitem>
          <para>Compiles the current configuration into the executable file
          <emphasis>pathname</emphasis>. If a directory is supplied, Shorewall
          will look in that directory first for configuration files.</para>

          <para>When -e is specified, the compilation is being performed on a
          system other than where the compiled script will run. This option
          disables certain configuration options that require the script to be
          compiled where it is to be run. The use of -e requires the presense
          of a configuration file named <filename>capabilities</filename>
          which may be 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>-C</option> option determines the compiler to use
          (Shorewall-shell or Shorewall-perl). If not specified, the
          SHOREWALL_COMPILER setting in <ulink
          url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5) determines the
          compiler to use.</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">delete</emphasis></term>

        <listitem>
          <para>The delete command reverses the effect of an earlier <emphasis
          role="bold">add</emphasis> command.</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:</para>

          <programlisting>        A host or network address
        The name of a bridge port
        The name of a bridge port followed by a colon (:) and a host or network address</programlisting>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

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

        <listitem>
          <para>Causes traffic from the listed <emphasis>address</emphasis>es
          to be silently dropped.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <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 Shorewall log messages
          to be displayed.</para>
        </listitem>
      </varlistentry>

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

        <listitem>
          <para>If <emphasis>directory1</emphasis> is omitted, the current
          working directory is assumed.</para>

          <para>The <option>-C</option> option determines the compiler to use
          (Shorewall-shell or Shorewall-perl). If not specified, the
          SHOREWALL_COMPILER setting in <ulink
          url="shorewall.conf.html">shorewall.conf</ulink>(5) determines the
          compiler to use.</para>

          <para>Allows a non-root user to compile a shorewall script and stage
          it on a system (provided that the user has access to the system via
          ssh). The command is equivalent to:</para>

          <programlisting>    <emphasis role="bold">/sbin/shorewall compile -e</emphasis> <emphasis>directory1</emphasis> <emphasis>directory1</emphasis><emphasis
              role="bold">/firewall &amp;&amp;\</emphasis>

              role="bold">system</emphasis>:[<emphasis>directory2</emphasis>]</programlisting>

          <para>In other words, the configuration in the specified (or
          defaulted) directory is compiled to a file called firewall in that
          directory. If compilation succeeds, then firewall and firewall.conf
          are copied to <emphasis>system</emphasis> using scp.</para>
