+
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Ipfirewall (later ipfw) is a system facility,which allows filtering
+of incoming and/or forwarding packets on the protocol+source/destination
+adress/ports base.
+Ipaccounting (later ipacct) is a system facility,which allows counting
+of incoming,outgoing and forwarding traffic by packet/byte count.
+
+Basic idea is that every packet checked against number of entries
+in several chains.There are 3 chains:
+ Blocking - this chain defines whenever packet should be accepted
+ ever for local delivery or for forwarding.
+ Forwarding - this chain defines whenever packet should be accepted
+ for forwarding only.
+ Accounting - this chain defines types of packets , which should be
+ counted.
+
+Entries added to chains by means of setsockopt() call on RAW IP socket.
+Options to add/remove specific entries or to flush all entries described
+above. Value passed to setsockopt() is a value of struct ip_fw for
+entry. If entry added , it checked by such rules that when we start
+searching chain for matching entry the first matching is the best match,
+[ or at least one of them :^) ].
+ That means:
+ * First in chain entries with specific protocol and small ranges
+ of src/dst adresses and ports.
+ * Later going entries with wider ranges of ports and adresses.
+ * Later entries matching every port for some adress range.
+ * Later universal entries matching any protocol.
+
+While deleting entry , every entry which equal to that passed to
+setsockopt() will be removed.
+Flush removes all entries.
+
+Every entry have several fields,by which packets matched:
+ struct ip_fw *next - next entry in chain.(Set internally)
+
+ struct in_addr src - source adress to be matched.
+ struct in_addr src_mask - source adress mask.
+ To match whole networks/subnets or adress groups
+ mask bits should be zeroed here and also
+ in src_mask field. Valuable bits should be set
+ in src_mask field.
+ struct in_addr dst - destination adress to be matched.
+ struct in_addr dst_mask - destination adress mask.
+
+ u_short flags - flags field.See exact description of flags meaning
+ in description later.
+
+ u_short n_src_p - number of source ports in "ports" array.
+ u_short n_dst_p - number of destination ports in "ports" array.
+ u_short ports[] - ports array.Overall length currently defined
+ to reasonable maximum - 10,and could be changed.
+ The packet's src port can ever match one of
+ ports[0] ... ports[--n_src_p] numbers,or if
+ flag IP_FW_F_SRNG set take port[0] as bottom
+ range value and ports[1] as top one.n_src_p should
+ be set to 2 then.If n_src_p equal to 0 , every port
+ match. The same rules apply to packet's dst port,
+ except that it matched against ports[n_src_p] ...
+ ... ports[n_src_p+n_dst_p--],or if IP_FW_F_DRNG set,
+ range is ports[n_src_p] to ports[n_srcp++].
+
+ u_long p_cnt - packets count for ipacct entries.
+ u_long b_cnt - bytes count for ipacct entries.
+
+Packet matching proceeds in following way:
+
+a) If packet entry protocol set to ALL, see c).
+
+b) If entry protocol set to TCP/UDP/ICMP and packet protocol
+ different - no match,if packet protocol and entry protocol
+ same - continue.
+
+c) If source addres pattern does not equal to packets sources adress
+ masked with src_mask , or destination pattern not equal to packets
+ destination adress masked with dst_mask - no match.
+ If they does and protocol set to ALL/ICMP - got match.
+ If they does and protocol set to TCP/UDP - continue.
+
+d) If src port doesn't match or dst port doesn't match - all
+ packet don't match. If they does - got match.
+
+In ipfw packet matched consequently against every chain entry.
+Search continues untill first matching entry found.If IP_FW_F_ACCEPT
+flag set - packet accepted.If it is not set - packet denied.
+If no matching entry found , all unmatched packets ever accepted or
+denied depending on global polici value. It can be set with
+IP_FW_POLICY raw socket option. Deny value is 0, other values
+(default 1) is accept.
+
+Entries can be added with IP_FW_F_PRN flag set.If kernel compiled
+with IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE option,packets matching this entries will
+be printed by kernel printf's.
+
+If some chain is empty,every packet accepted by this chain no
+matter what default policy is.
+
+To check whenever or not packet denied by some chain , checking
+options to setsockopt() can be issued. Then the argument is
+a buffer representing ip packet,thus it has to be
+struct ip + struct tcphdr .
+Then setsockopt() return value 0 on accept or another on deny.
+
+Ipaccounting entries added the same way as ipfw ones.Packet checked
+against all entries in chain and values of p_cnt and b_cnt in matching
+entries rised.p_cnt rises by 1 and b_cnt by ip_len value of ip packet.
+Thus all traffic size counted including IP headers.
+
+If IP_FW_F_BIDIR flag is set in accounting entry,packets counted are
+those which match entry in standart way along with packets which match
+entry while their source and destination addr/port pairs swapped.
+
+Zero option allows all accounting to be cleared.
+
+.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
+
+[EINVAL] The IP option field was improperly formed; an option
+ field was shorter than the minimum value or longer than
+ the option buffer provided.An structural error in
+ ip_fw structure occured (n_src_p+n_dst_p too big,
+ ports set for ALL/ICMP protocols etc.)

+.Sh BUGS
+ Ipfw/ipacct facilities are new and , although serious bugs has
+been tracked,some less important ones expected.
+ This man page also uncomplete bad styled.
