DESCRIPTION
       The ippool utility is used to manage information stored in the IP pools
       subsystem of IP Filter software. Configuration file information can  be
       parsed and loaded into the kernel and currently configured pools can be
       removed, changed, or inspected.

       ippool's use is restricted through access to /dev/ippool.  The  default
       permissions  of	/dev/ippool  require  ippool to be run as root for all
       operations.

       The command line options used are divided into two sections: the global
       options and the instance-specific options.

       ippool's use is restricted through access to /dev/ipauth, /dev/ipl, and
       /dev/ipstate. The default permissions of these files require ippool  to
       be run as root for all operations.

OPTIONS
       ippool supports the option categories described below.

   Global Options
       The following global options are supported:

       -d    Toggle debugging of processing the configuration file.

       -n    Prevents  ippool from doing anything, such as making ioctl calls,
	     that would alter the currently running kernel.

       -v    Turn verbose mode on.

   Instance-Specific Options
       The following instance-specific options are supported:

       -a	  Add a new data node to an existing pool in the kernel.

       -A	  Add a new (empty) pool to the kernel.

       -f file	  Read in IP pool configuration information from file and load
		  it into the kernel.

       -F	  Flush loaded pools from the kernel.

       -h	  Display a list of pools of the type: hash loaded in the ker‐
		  nel.

       -l	  Display a list of pools of the type: tree loaded in the ker‐
		  nel.

       -r	  Remove an existing data node from a pool in the kernel.

       -R	  Remove an existing pool from within the kernel.

       -s	  Display IP pool statistical information.

   Other Options
       The following, additional options are supported:

       -i ipaddr[/netmask]    Sets  the	 IP  address  for  the operation being
			      undertaken with an all-one's  mask  or,  option‐
			      ally,  a	specific netmask, given in either dot‐
			      ted-quad notation or as a single integer.

       -m poolname	      Sets the pool name for the current operation.

       -M core		      Specify an alternative path  to  /dev/kmem  from
			      which to retrieve statistical information.

       -N namelist	      Specify  an  alternative	path  to lookup symbol
			      name  information	 when  retrieving  statistical
			      information.

       -o role		      Sets  the	 role  with  which  this pool is to be
			      used. Currently only ipf, auth,  and  count  are
			      accepted as arguments to this option.

       -S seed		      Sets  the	 hashing seed to the number specified.
			      For use with hash-type pools only.

       -t type		      Sets the type of pool being defined. Must be one
			      of pool, hash, or group-map.

       -u		      When  parsing  a configuration file, rather than
			      load new pool data into the kernel, unload it.

FILES
       /dev/ippool	       Link to IP Filter pseudo device.

       /dev/kmem	       Special file that provides  access  to  virtual
			       address space.

       /etc/ipf/ippool.conf    Location of ippool startup configuration file.
