+.TH IPNAT 8
+.SH NAME
+ipnat \- user interface to the NAT subsystem
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ipnat
+[
+.B \-dhlnrsvCF
+]
+[
+.B \-M core
+]
+[
+.B \-N system
+]
+.B \-f <\fIfilename\fP>
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBipnat\fP opens the filename given (treating "\-" as stdin) and parses the
+file for a set of rules which are to be added or removed from the IP NAT.
+.PP
+Each rule processed by \fBipnat\fP
+is added to the kernels internal lists if there are no parsing problems.
+Rules are added to the end of the internal lists, matching the order in
+which they appear when given to \fBipnat\fP.
+.PP
+Note that if
+\fBipf(8)\fP
+is not enabled when NAT is configured, it will be enabled
+automatically, as the same kernel facilities are used for
+NAT functionality. In addition, packet forwarding must be
+enabled.
