| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .PP |
| .B Ippool |
| is used to manage information stored in the IP pools subsystem of IPFilter. |
| Configuration file information may be parsed and loaded into the kernel, |
| currently configured pools removed or changed as well as inspected. |
| .PP |
| The command line options used are broken into two sections: the global |
| options and the instance specific options. |
| .SH GLOBAL OPTIONS |
| .TP |
| .B \-d |
| Toggle debugging of processing the configuration file. |
| .TP |
| .B \-n |
| This flag (no-change) prevents |
| .B ippool |
| from actually making any ioctl |
| calls or doing anything which would alter the currently running kernel. |
| .TP |
| .B \-v |
| Turn verbose mode on. |
| .SH COMMAND OPTIONS |
| .TP |
| .B -a |
| Add a new data node to an existing pool in the kernel. |
| .TP |
| .B -A |
| Add a new (empty) pool to the kernel. |
| .TP |
| .B -f <file> |
| Read in IP pool configuration information from the file and load it into |
| the kernel. |
| .TP |
| .B -F |
| Flush loaded pools from the kernel. |
| .TP |
| .B -l |
| Display a list of pools currently loaded into the kernel. |
| .TP |
| .B -r |
| Remove an existing data node from a pool in the kernel. |
| .TP |
| .B -R |
| Remove an existing pool from within the kernel. |
| .TP |
| .B -s |
| Display IP pool statistical information. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| .TP |
| .B -i <ipaddr>[/<netmask>] |
| Sets the IP address for the operation being undertaken with an |
| all-one's mask or, optionally, a specific netmask given in either |
| the dotted-quad notation or a single integer. |
| .TP |
| .B -m <name> |
| Sets the pool name for the current operation. |
| .TP |
| .B -M <core> |
| Specify an alternative path to /dev/kmem to retrieve statistical information |
| from. |
| .TP |
| .B -N <namelist> |
| Specify an alternative path to lookup symbol name information from when |
| retrieving statistical information. |
| .TP |
| .B -o <role> |
| Sets the role with which this pool is to be used. Currently only |
| .B ipf, |
| .B auth |
| and |
| .B count |
| are accepted as arguments to this option. |
| .TP |
| .B -S <seed> |
| Sets the hashing seed to the number specified. Only for use with |
| .B hash |
| type pools. |
| .TP |
| .B -t <type> |
| Sets the type of pool being defined. Myst be one of |
| .B pool, |
| .B hash, |
| .B group-map. |
| .TP |
| .B -u |
| When parsing a configuration file, rather than load new pool data into the |
| kernel, unload it. |
