✨ NAME ✨

shorewall6 — bestie, it's the administration tool for Shoreline Firewall 6 (aka Shorewall6) 💖 this is the page for the shorewall6 manual, section 8 (administrative commands, iykyk).

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

shorewall6 [trace|debug] [-options] command [ command-arguments ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so, the shorewall6 utility is literally the thing you use to control Shoreline Firewall 6 (Shorewall6). It's giving firewall manager, it's giving main character energy 👑

And here's the lore 🫶 — beginning with Shorewall 5.1.0, shorewall6 is a symbolic link pointing to the shorewall[1](8) executable, which runs the command as if its -6 option had been specified. So it's not even its own binary anymore, it's just shorewall in a wig 💅 no cap.

🎀 NOTES 🎀

  1. shorewall https://shorewall.org/manpages6//manpages/shorewall.html

And that's the whole vibe, bestie 💜 This little gem lives under the Administrative Commands umbrella, version dated 09/24/2020, and it's filed as SHOREWALL6(8) — slay, periodt 🎀✨🦋
