Cy Schubert 41edb306f0 ipfilter: Move userland bits to sbin
Through fixes and improvements our ipfilter sources have diverged
enough to warrant move from contrib into sbin/ipf. Now that I'm
planning on implementing MSS clamping as in iptables it makes more
sense to move ipfilter to sbin.

This is the second of three commits of the ipfilter move.

Suggested by glebius on two occaions.

.TH IPRESEND 1
.SH NAME
ipresend \- resend IP packets out to network
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ipresend
[
.B \-EHPRSTX
] [
.B \-d
<device>

.B \-g
<\fIgateway\fP>

.B \-m

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBipresend\fP was designed to allow packets to be resent, once captured,
back out onto the network for use in testing. \fIipresend\fP supports a
number of different file formats as input, including saved snoop/tcpdump
binary data.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BR \-d \0<interface>
Set the interface name to be the name supplied. This is useful with the
\fB\-P, \-S, \-T\fP and \fB\-E\fP options, where it is not otherwise possible
to associate a packet with an interface. Normal "text packets" can override
this setting.
.TP
.BR \-g \0<gateway>
Specify the hostname of the gateway through which to route packets. This
is required whenever the destination host isn't directly attached to the
same network as the host from which you're sending.
.TP
.BR \-m \0<MTU>
Specify the MTU to be used when sending out packets. This option allows you
to set a fake MTU, allowing the simulation of network interfaces with small
MTU's without setting them so.
.TP
.BR \-r \0<filename>
Specify the filename from which to take input. Default is stdin.
.TP
.B \-E
The input file is to be text output from etherfind. The text formats which
are currently supported are those which result from the following etherfind
option combinations:
.PP
.nf
etherfind -n
etherfind -n -t
.fi
.LP
.TP
.B \-H
The input file is to be hex digits, representing the binary makeup of the
packet. No length correction is made, if an incorrect length is put in
the IP header.
.TP
.B \-P
The input file specified by \fB\-i\fP is a binary file produced using libpcap
(i.e., tcpdump version 3). Packets are read from this file as being input
(for rule purposes).
.TP
.B \-R
When sending packets out, send them out "raw" (the way they came in). The
only real significance here is that it will expect the link layer (i.e.
ethernet) headers to be prepended to the IP packet being output.
.TP
.B \-S
The input file is to be in "snoop" format (see RFC 1761). Packets are read
from this file and used as input from any interface. This is perhaps the
most useful input type, currently.
.TP
.B \-T
The input file is to be text output from tcpdump. The text formats which
are currently supported are those which result from the following tcpdump
option combinations:
.PP
.nf
tcpdump -n
tcpdump -nq
tcpdump -nqt
tcpdump -nqtt
tcpdump -nqte
.fi
.LP
.TP
.B \-X
The input file is composed of text descriptions of IP packets.
.DT
.SH SEE ALSO
snoop(1m), tcpdump(8), etherfind(8c), ipftest(1), ipresend(1), iptest(1), bpf(4), dlpi(7p)
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
.PP
Needs to be run as root.
.SH BUGS
.PP
Not all of the input formats are sufficiently capable of introducing a
wide enough variety of packets for them to be all useful in testing.
