Don't worry, this is the only one of these I plan on doing :-).

IP_FW_F_PRN - Print this entry ( see below )
IP_FW_F_BIDIR - This acct entry is bidirectional ( see below )
IP_FW_F_MASK - Mask to match all valid flag bits.
Kernel symbols to kvm_nlist():
struct ip_fw *ip_fw_blk_chain - chain of forwarding entries.
struct ip_fw *ip_fw_fwd_chain - chain of blocking entries.
int ip_fw_policy - default policy.
struct ip_fw *ip_acct_chain - chain of accounting entries.
Options in the kernel configuration file:
IPFIREWALL - enable ipfirewall.
IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE - enable firewall output ( see below )
DEBUG_IPFIREWALL - enable extensive debugging output.
IPACCT - enable ipaccounting.
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Ipfirewall (later ipfw) is a system facility,which allows filtering
of incoming and/or forwarding packets on the protocol+source/destination
address/ports base.
Ipaccounting (later ipacct) is a system facility,which allows counting
of incoming,outgoing and forwarding traffic by packet/byte count.
.Pp
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
.Pp
Options to add/remove specific entries or to flush all entries described
above. Value passed to
.Fn setsockopt
is a value of struct ip_fw for
entry. If an entry is 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 addresses and ports.
* Later go entries with wider ranges of ports and addresses.
* Later entries matching every port for some address range.
* Later universal entries matching any protocol.
.Pp
While deleting entry, every entry which is equal to that passed to
.Fn setsockopt
will be removed. Flush removes all entries.
Each entry has several fields by which packets are matched:
struct ip_fw *next - next entry in chain.(Set internally)
struct in_addr src - source address to be matched.
struct in_addr src_mask - source address mask.
To match whole networks/subnets or address 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 address to be matched.
struct in_addr dst_mask - destination address 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 the following manner:
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 address pattern does not equal to packets sources address
masked with src_mask, or destination pattern not equal to packets
destination address 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 do - got match.
.Pp
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 policy value. It can be set with
IP_FW_POLICY raw socket option. The value for deny is 0,
and 1 for accept.
.Pp
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.
.Pp
If some chain is empty,every packet accepted by this chain no
matter what default policy is.
.Pp
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.
.Pp
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.
.Pp
If IP_FW_F_BIDIR flag is set in accounting entry,packets counted are
those which match entry in standard way along with packets which match
entry while their source and destination addr/port pairs swapped.
.Pp
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 occurred (n_src_p+n_dst_p too big,
ports set for ALL/ICMP protocols etc.)

.Sh BUGS
The ipfw/ipacct facilities are new and, although serious bugs have
been tracked, some less important ones are expected.

This man page is mostly out of date and should be rewritten.
