NAME

pf - packet filter

SYNOPSIS

device pf

DESCRIPTION

Packet filtering takes place in the kernel. A pseudo-de
vice, /dev/pf, allows userland processes to control the behavior of the
packet filter through an ioctl(2) interface. There are commands to enable
and disable the filter, load rulesets, add and remove individual rules
or state table entries, and retrieve statistics. The most commonly used
functions are covered by pfctl(8).
Manipulations like loading a ruleset that involve more than
a single ioctl(2) call require a so-called ticket, which prevents the
occurrence of multiple concurrent manipulations.
Fields of ioctl(2) parameter structures that refer to packet
data (like addresses and ports) are generally expected in network byte
order.
Rules and address tables are contained in so-called anchors.
When servicing an ioctl(2) request, if the anchor field of the argu
ment structure is empty, the kernel will use the default anchor (i.e., the
main ruleset) in operations. Anchors are specified by name and may be
nested, with components separated by `/' characters, similar to how file
system hierarchies are laid out. The final component of the anchor
path is the anchor under which operations will be performed.

IOCTL INTERFACE

pf supports the following ioctl(2) commands, available
through <net/pfvar.h>:
DIOCSTART: Start the packet filter.
DIOCSTOP: Stop the packet filter.
DIOCSTARTALTQ: Start the ALTQ bandwidth control system (see al; tq(9)).

u_int8_t scheduler;; };; This call fills in a pointer to the buffer of; statistics buf, of
length nbytes, for the queue specified by nr.
DIOCGETRULESETS struct pfioc_ruleset *pr: struct pfioc_ruleset {
u_int32_t nr;
char path[MAXPATHLEN];
char name[PF_ANCHOR_NAME_SIZE];; };; Get the number nr of rulesets (i.e., anchors) di; rectly attached
to the anchor named by path for use in subsequent; DIOCGETRULESET
calls. Nested anchors, since they are not directly; attached to
the given anchor, will not be included. This ioctl; returns
EINVAL if the given anchor does not exist.
DIOCGETRULESET struct pfioc_ruleset *pr: Get a ruleset (i.e., an anchor) name by its number; nr from the
given anchor path, the maximum number of which can; be obtained

union {
caddr_t psu_buf;
struct pf_state *psu_states;

} ps_u;; #define ps_buf ps_u.psu_buf

};; If ps_len is zero, all states will be gathered into; pf_states and
ps_len will be set to the size they take in memory; (i.e.,
sizeof(struct pf_state) * nr). If ps_len is non-ze; ro, as many
states that can fit into ps_len as possible will be; gathered, and
ps_len will be updated to the size those rules take; in memory.
DIOCCHANGERULE struct pfioc_rule *pcr: Add or remove the rule in the ruleset specified by; rule.action.; The type of operation to be performed is indicated; by action,

contains a table of pfr_table structures. On exit,; pfrio_nadd
contains the number of tables effectively deleted.
DIOCRGETTABLES struct pfioc_table *io: Get the list of all tables. On entry,; pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size]
contains a valid writeable buffer for pfr_table; structures. On
exit, pfrio_size contains the number of tables writ; ten into the
buffer. If the buffer is too small, the kernel does; not store
anything but just returns the required buffer size,; without
error.
DIOCRGETTSTATS struct pfioc_table *io: This call is like DIOCRGETTABLES but is used to get; an array of
pfr_tstats structures.; struct pfr_tstats {
struct pfr_table pfrts_t;
u_int64_t pfrts_packets
[PFR_DIR_MAX][PFR_OP_TA

BLE_MAX];

addresses removed.
DIOCRADDADDRS struct pfioc_table *io: Add one or more addresses to a table. On entry,; pfrio_table contains the table ID and pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size] con; tains the list
of pfr_addr structures to add. On exit, pfrio_nadd; contains the
number of addresses effectively added.; struct pfr_addr {

list of pfr_addr structures to delete. On exit,; pfrio_ndel contains the number of addresses effectively deleted.
DIOCRSETADDRS struct pfioc_table *io: Replace the content of a table by a new address; list. This is
the most complicated command, which uses all the; structure members.; On entry, pfrio_table contains the table ID and pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size] contains the new list of; pfr_addr structures. Additionally, if pfrio_size2 is non-zero, pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size..pfrio_size2] must be a; writeable buffer,
into which the kernel can copy the addresses that; have been
deleted during the replace operation. On exit,; pfrio_ndel,
pfrio_nadd, and pfrio_nchange contain the number of; addresses
deleted, added, and changed by the kernel. If; pfrio_size2 was
set on entry, pfrio_size2 will point to the size of; the buffer
used, exactly like DIOCRGETADDRS.
DIOCRGETADDRS struct pfioc_table *io: Get all the addresses of a table. On entry,; pfrio_table contains
the table ID and pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size] contains a; valid writeable buffer for pfr_addr structures. On exit,; pfrio_size contains the number of addresses written into the; buffer. If the
buffer was too small, the kernel does not store any; thing but just
returns the required buffer size, without returning; an error.
DIOCRGETASTATS struct pfioc_table *io: This call is like DIOCRGETADDRS but is used to get; an array of
pfr_astats structures.; struct pfr_astats {

contains the table ID and pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size]; contains a
table of pfr_addr structures to test. On exit, the; kernel
updates the pfr_addr table by setting the pfra_fback; member
appropriately.
DIOCRSETTFLAGS struct pfioc_table *io: Change the PFR_TFLAG_CONST or PFR_TFLAG_PERSIST; flags of a table.
On entry, pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size] contains a table; of pfr_table
structures, and pfrio_setflag contains the flags to; add, while
pfrio_clrflag contains the flags to remove. On ex; it,
pfrio_nchange and pfrio_ndel contain the number of; tables altered
or deleted by the kernel. Yes, tables can be delet; ed if one
removes the PFR_TFLAG_PERSIST flag of an unrefer; enced table.
DIOCRINADEFINE struct pfioc_table *io: Defines a table in the inactive set. On entry,; pfrio_table contains the table ID and pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size] con; tains the list
of pfr_addr structures to put in the table. A valid; ticket must
also be supplied to pfrio_ticket. On exit,; pfrio_nadd contains 0
if the table was already defined in the inactive; list or 1 if a
new table has been created. pfrio_naddr contains; the number of
addresses effectively put in the table.
DIOCXBEGIN struct pfioc_trans *io: struct pfioc_trans {
int size; /* number of ele

ments */
int esize; /* size of each ele

ment in bytes */
struct pfioc_trans_e {
int rs_num;
char anchor[MAXPATHLEN];
u_int32_t ticket;

} *array;; };; Clear all the inactive rulesets specified in the; pfioc_trans_e
array. For each ruleset, a ticket is returned for; subsequent
"add rule" ioctls, as well as for the DIOCXCOMMIT; and
DIOCXROLLBACK calls.; Ruleset types, identified by rs_num, include the; following:

PF_RULESET_SCRUB Scrub (packet normalization)

rules.
PF_RULESET_FILTER Filter rules.
PF_RULESET_NAT NAT (Network Address Transla

tion) rules.
PF_RULESET_BINAT Bidirectional NAT rules.
PF_RULESET_RDR Redirect rules.
PF_RULESET_ALTQ ALTQ disciplines.
PF_RULESET_TABLE Address tables.
DIOCXCOMMIT struct pfioc_trans *io: Atomically switch a vector of inactive rulesets to; the active
rulesets. This call is implemented as a standard; two-phase commit, which will either fail for all rulesets or com; pletely succeed. All tickets need to be valid. This ioctl re; turns EBUSY if
another process is concurrently updating some of the; same rulesets.
DIOCXROLLBACK struct pfioc_trans *io: Clean up the kernel by undoing all changes that have; taken place
on the inactive rulesets since the last DIOCXBEGIN.
DIOCXROLLBACK will silently ignore rulesets for; which the ticket
is invalid.
DIOCSETHOSTID u_int32_t *hostid: Set the host ID, which is used by pfsync(4) to iden; tify which
host created state table entries.
DIOCOSFPFLUSH: Flush the passive OS fingerprint table.
DIOCOSFPADD struct pf_osfp_ioctl *io: struct pf_osfp_ioctl {
struct pf_osfp_entry {

u_int16_t fp_flags;
u_int8_t fp_optcnt;
u_int8_t fp_wscale;
u_int8_t fp_ttl;
int fp_getnum;; };; Add a passive OS fingerprint to the table. Set; fp_os.fp_os to
the packed fingerprint, fp_os.fp_class_nm to the; name of the
class (Linux, Windows, etc), fp_os.fp_version_nm to; the name of
the version (NT, 95, 98), and fp_os.fp_subtype_nm to; the name of
the subtype or patchlevel. The members fp_mss,; fp_wsize,
fp_psize, fp_ttl, fp_optcnt, and fp_wscale are set; to the TCP
MSS, the TCP window size, the IP length, the IP TTL,; the number
of TCP options, and the TCP window scaling constant; of the TCP
SYN packet, respectively.; The fp_flags member is filled according to the; <net/pfvar.h>
include file PF_OSFP_* defines. The fp_tcpopts mem; ber contains
packed TCP options. Each option uses; PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_BITS bits in
the packed value. Options include any of; PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_NOP,
PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_SACK, PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_WSCALE,; PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_MSS,
or PF_OSFP_TCPOPT_TS.; The fp_getnum member is not used with this ioctl.; The structure's slack space must be zeroed for cor; rect operation;
memset(3) the whole structure to zero before filling; and sending
to the kernel.
DIOCOSFPGET struct pf_osfp_ioctl *io: Get the passive OS fingerprint number fp_getnum from; the kernel's
fingerprint list. The rest of the structure members; will come
back filled. Get the whole list by repeatedly in; crementing the
fp_getnum number until the ioctl returns EBUSY.
DIOCGETSRCNODES struct pfioc_src_nodes *psn: struct pfioc_src_nodes {
int psn_len;
union {
caddr_t psu_buf;
struct pf_src_node

*psu_src_nodes;

} psn_u;; #define psn_buf psn_u.psu_buf
#define psn_src_nodes psn_u.psu_src_nodes
};; Get the list of source nodes kept by sticky address; es and source
tracking. The ioctl must be called once with; psn_len set to 0.
If the ioctl returns without error, psn_len will be; set to the
size of the buffer required to hold all the; pf_src_node structures held in the table. A buffer of this size; should then be
allocated, and a pointer to this buffer placed in; psn_buf. The
ioctl must then be called again to fill this buffer; with the
actual source node data. After that call, psn_len; will be set to
the length of the buffer actually used.
DIOCCLRSRCNODES: Clear the tree of source tracking nodes.
DIOCIGETIFACES struct pfioc_iface *io: Get the list of interfaces and interface drivers; known to pf.
All the ioctls that manipulate interfaces use the; same structure
described below:; struct pfioc_iface {
char pfiio_name[IFNAM

SIZ];
void *pfiio_buffer;
int pfiio_esize;
int pfiio_size;
int pfiio_nzero;
int pfiio_flags;; };; #define PFI_FLAG_GROUP 0x0001 /* gets groups of; interfaces */
#define PFI_FLAG_INSTANCE 0x0002 /* gets single; interfaces */
#define PFI_FLAG_ALLMASK 0x0003; If not empty, pfiio_name can be used to restrict the; search to a
specific interface or driver.; pfiio_buffer[pfiio_size] is the user-supplied buffer for returning the data. On en; try,
pfiio_size represents the number of pfi_if entries; that can fit
into the buffer. The kernel will replace this value; by the real
number of entries it wants to return. pfiio_esize; should be set
to sizeof(struct pfi_if). pfiio_flags should be set; to
PFI_FLAG_GROUP, PFI_FLAG_INSTANCE, or both, to tell; the kernel to
return a group of interfaces (drivers, like "fxp"),; real interface instances (like "fxp1") or both. The data is; returned in
the pfi_if structure described below:; struct pfi_if {
char pfif_name[IFNAMSIZ];
u_int64_t pfif_pack

ets[2][2][2];
u_int64_t pfif_bytes[2][2][2];
u_int64_t pfif_addc

nt;
u_int64_t pfif_delc

nt;
long pfif_tzero;
int pfif_states;
int pfif_rules;
int pfif_flags;; };; #define PFI_IFLAG_GROUP 0x0001 /* group of; interfaces */
#define PFI_IFLAG_INSTANCE 0x0002 /* single; instance */
#define PFI_IFLAG_CLONABLE 0x0010 /* clonable; group */
#define PFI_IFLAG_DYNAMIC 0x0020 /* dynamic; group */
#define PFI_IFLAG_ATTACHED 0x0040 /* interface; attached */
DIOCICLRISTATS struct pfioc_iface *io: Clear the statistics counters of one or more inter; faces.
pfiio_name and pfiio_flags can be used to select; which interfaces
need to be cleared. The filtering process is the; same as for
DIOCIGETIFACES. pfiio_nzero will be set by the ker; nel to the
number of interfaces and drivers that have been; cleared.
DIOCSETIFFLAG struct pfioc_iface *io: Set the user setable flags (described below) of the; pf internal
interface description. The filtering process is the; same as for
DIOCIGETIFACES.; #define PFI_IFLAG_SKIP 0x0100 /* skip in; terface */
#define PFI_IFLAG_SETABLE_MASK 0x0100 /* mask */
DIOCCLRIFFLAG struct pfioc_iface *io: Works as DIOCSETIFFLAG above but clears the flags.
