The KPI have been reviewed and cleansed of features that were planned back 20 years ago and never implemented. The pfil(9) internals have been made opaque to protocols with only returned types and function declarations exposed. The KPI is made more strict, but at the same time more extensible, as kernel uses same command structures that userland ioctl uses. In nutshell [KA]PI is about declaring filtering points, declaring filters and linking and unlinking them together. New [KA]PI makes it possible to reconfigure pfil(9) configuration: change order of hooks, rehook filter from one filtering point to a different one, disconnect a hook on output leaving it on input only, prepend/append a filter to existing list of filters. Now it possible for a single packet filter to provide multiple rulesets that may be linked to different points. Think of per-interface ACLs in Cisco or Juniper. None of existing packet filters yet support that, however limited usage is already possible, e.g. default ruleset can be moved to single interface, as soon as interface would pride their filtering points. Another future feature is possiblity to create pfil heads, that provide not an mbuf pointer but just a memory pointer with length. That would allow filtering at very early stages of a packet lifecycle, e.g. when packet has just been received by a NIC and no mbuf was yet allocated.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is intended to view and change configuration of the
|
|
.Xr pfil 9
|
|
packet filtering hooks and filters on them.
|
|
.Sh COMMANDS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "unlink"
|
|
.It Cm heads
|
|
List available packet filtering points.
|
|
.It Cm hooks
|
|
List available packet filters.

|
Link
|
|
.Ar hook
|
|
to
|
|
.Ar head .
|
|
With the
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
flag the hook will be connected as input and with
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
as output hook.
|
|
At least one of
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
is required.
|
|
By default
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will prepend the hook in front of other hooks if any present:
|
|
new hook will be as close to the wire as possible, so that on input
|
|
it will be the first filter and on output it will be the last.
|
|
Adding the
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
flag switches to appending new hook instead of prepending.
|
|
.It Xo

|
|
At least one of
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
is required.
|
|
With the
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
flag the hook will be removed from the input list of hooks
|
|
and with
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
on output list.
