firewall-cmd, what is <table>
Last modified: 2013-08-03 20:08:38 EDT
Description of problem: man says: firewall-cmd --direct --get-chains { ipv4 | ipv6 | eb } <table> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firewalld-0.3.2-1.fc19.noarch How reproducible: deterministic Steps to Reproduce: 1. look at man and list some chain 2. <table> is not described what's that Actual results: firewall-cmd --get-chains ipv4 raw # no output firewall-cmd --get-chains ipv4 filter # no output, is that wrong table or zero chain? Expected results: there is mentioned what is <table> if there is no output, it should indicate that list is empty Additional info: are tables in list of `cat /proc/net/ip_tables_names` ? why there is no output?
(In reply to Petr Sklenar from comment #0) > Expected results: > there is mentioned what is <table> yes, we should improve the man page to say that for <table>, <chain> and <args> one should consult iptables(8) first. > if there is no output, it should indicate that list is empty I think the typical use case is to forward the output to variable and then check whether it's (non)empty. > Additional info: > are tables in list of `cat /proc/net/ip_tables_names` ? yes (but see below) > why there is no output? because --query-[chain/rule] and --get-[chains/rules] take into consideration only chains/rules previously added with 'firewall-cmd --direct'. I'm not sure whether that's by design or bug but I guess the former one. Thomas ??? It should be definitely noted in man page too. I've improved the firewall-cmd man page, let me know what do you think https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/firewalld.git/commit/?id=4532f569ac502fa910ddf109a729a827940486f0
