Subject: old question revisited: can rely in 'iptables-restore' format?
Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2012 00:26:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20530.51137.458307.357243@tree.ty.sabi.co.UK> (raw)

Perhaps it is useful to ask again an old question:
Is the format of files produced by 'iptables-saved' and consumed
by 'iptables-restore' still considered an internal, undocumented
format that may change at any time?
How stable is in practice that format?
Because I reckon that format has been stable for at least 10
years, and I wonder whether it may be desirable to write
firewall configurations directly in it, rather than using long
'iptables' command shell scripts.
