FIREWALL-CONFIG(1)

💖 FIREWALL-CONFIG(1) 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're talking about firewall-config, which lives in section 1 of the manual. it's the firewalld GUI configuration tool and honestly? she's iconic. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

firewall-config — the firewalld GUI configuration tool. yes, GUI. buttons. windows. clicky clicky. slay. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

firewall-config [OPTIONS...]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, firewall-config is a GUI configuration tool for firewalld. it's the pretty face of your firewall, the main character energy version of typing stuff into a terminal. if firewall-cmd is the girl who does everything from the command line with zero complaints, firewall-config is the one who shows up with a whole windowed interface. both valid. 🫶

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so here's the tea, and I need you to hear me on this: firewall-config does not support any special options. not a one. nothing bespoke, nothing custom, no secret menu. 😭

the only options that can be used are the general options that Gtk uses for Gtk application initialization. so if you're wondering what those are and what they do, you gotta go look at the runtime documentation for Gtk, because that's where they live — not here. that's not me being gatekeepy, that's just literally where they're documented. iykyk. 🌈

but wait, there's a list, and the following options are supported:

• -h, --help — prints a short help text and then exits. that's the whole thing. she helps, she leaves. no notes. 👑
