NAME
     pf	-- packet filter

SYNOPSIS
     device pf

DESCRIPTION
     Packet filtering takes place in the kernel.  A pseudo-device, /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	ser-
     vicing an ioctl(2)	request, if the	anchor field of	the argument 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	hier-
     archies are laid out.  The	final component	of the anchor path is the an-
     chor 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 altq(9)).

     DIOCSTOPALTQ
	     Stop the ALTQ bandwidth control system.

     DIOCBEGINADDRS struct pfioc_pooladdr *pp

	     struct pfioc_pooladdr {
		     u_int32_t		     action;
		     u_int32_t		     ticket;
		     u_int32_t		     nr;
		     u_int32_t		     r_num;
		     u_int8_t		     r_action;
		     u_int8_t		     r_last;
		     u_int8_t		     af;
		     char		     anchor[MAXPATHLEN];
		     struct pf_pooladdr	     addr;
	     };

	     Clear the buffer address pool and get a ticket for	subsequent
	     DIOCADDADDR, DIOCADDRULE, and DIOCCHANGERULE calls.

     DIOCADDADDR struct	pfioc_pooladdr *pp

	     Add the pool address addr to the buffer address pool to be	used
	     in	the following DIOCADDRULE or DIOCCHANGERULE call.  All other
	     members of	the structure are ignored.

     DIOCADDRULE struct	pfioc_rule *pr

	     struct pfioc_rule {
		     u_int32_t	     action;
		     u_int32_t	     ticket;
		     u_int32_t	     pool_ticket;
		     u_int32_t	     nr;
		     char	     anchor[MAXPATHLEN];
		     char	     anchor_call[MAXPATHLEN];
		     struct pf_rule  rule;
	     };

	     Add rule at the end of the	inactive ruleset.  This	call requires
	     a ticket obtained through a preceding DIOCXBEGIN call and a
	     pool_ticket obtained through a DIOCBEGINADDRS call.  DIOCADDADDR
	     must also be called if any	pool addresses are required.  The op-
	     tional anchor name	indicates the anchor in	which to append	the
	     rule.  nr and action are ignored.

     DIOCADDALTQ struct	pfioc_altq *pa
	     Add an ALTQ discipline or queue.

	     struct pfioc_altq {
		     u_int32_t	     action;
		     u_int32_t	     ticket;
		     u_int32_t	     nr;
		     struct pf_altq  altq;
	     };

     DIOCGETRULES struct pfioc_rule *pr
	     Get a ticket for subsequent DIOCGETRULE calls and the number nr
	     of	rules in the active ruleset.

     DIOCGETRULE struct	pfioc_rule *pr
	     Get a rule	by its number nr using the ticket obtained through a
	     preceding DIOCGETRULES call.

     DIOCGETADDRS struct pfioc_pooladdr	*pp
	     Get a ticket for subsequent DIOCGETADDR calls and the number nr
	     of	pool addresses in the rule specified with r_action, r_num, and
	     anchor.

     DIOCGETADDR struct	pfioc_pooladdr *pp
	     Get the pool address addr by its number nr	from the rule speci-
	     fied with r_action, r_num,	and anchor using the ticket obtained
	     through a preceding DIOCGETADDRS call.

     DIOCGETALTQS struct pfioc_altq *pa
	     Get a ticket for subsequent DIOCGETALTQ calls and the number nr
	     of	queues in the active list.

     DIOCGETALTQ struct	pfioc_altq *pa
	     Get the queueing discipline altq by its number nr using the
	     ticket obtained through a preceding DIOCGETALTQS call.

     DIOCGETQSTATS struct pfioc_qstats *pq
	     Get the statistics	on a queue.

	     struct pfioc_qstats {
		     u_int32_t	      ticket;
		     u_int32_t	      nr;
		     void	     *buf;
		     int	      nbytes;
		     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) directly 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
	     from a preceding DIOCGETRULESETS call.  This ioctl	returns	EINVAL
	     if	the given anchor does not exist	or EBUSY if another process is
	     concurrently updating a ruleset.

     DIOCADDSTATE struct pfioc_state *ps
	     Add a state entry.

	     struct pfioc_state	{
		     u_int32_t	      nr;
		     struct pf_state  state;
	     };

     DIOCGETSTATE struct pfioc_state *ps
	     Extract the entry with the	specified number nr from the state ta-
	     ble.

     DIOCKILLSTATES struct pfioc_state_kill *psk
	     Remove matching entries from the state table.  This ioctl returns
	     the number	of killed states in psk_af.

	     struct pfioc_state_kill {
		     sa_family_t	     psk_af;
		     int		     psk_proto;
		     struct pf_rule_addr     psk_src;
		     struct pf_rule_addr     psk_dst;
		     char		     psk_ifname[IFNAMSIZ];
	     };

     DIOCCLRSTATES struct pfioc_state_kill *psk
	     Clear all states.	It works like DIOCKILLSTATES, but ignores the
	     psk_af, psk_proto,	psk_src, and psk_dst fields of the
	     pfioc_state_kill structure.

     DIOCSETSTATUSIF struct pfioc_if *pi
	     Specify the interface for which statistics	are accumulated.

	     struct pfioc_if {
		     char	      ifname[IFNAMSIZ];
	     };

     DIOCGETSTATUS struct pf_status *s
	     Get the internal packet filter statistics.

	     struct pf_status {
		     u_int64_t	     counters[PFRES_MAX];
		     u_int64_t	     lcounters[LCNT_MAX];
		     u_int64_t	     fcounters[FCNT_MAX];
		     u_int64_t	     scounters[SCNT_MAX];
		     u_int64_t	     pcounters[2][2][3];
		     u_int64_t	     bcounters[2][2];
		     u_int64_t	     stateid;
		     u_int32_t	     running;
		     u_int32_t	     states;
		     u_int32_t	     src_nodes;
		     u_int32_t	     since;
		     u_int32_t	     debug;
		     u_int32_t	     hostid;
		     char	     ifname[IFNAMSIZ];
	     };

     DIOCCLRSTATUS
	     Clear the internal	packet filter statistics.

     DIOCNATLOOK struct	pfioc_natlook *pnl
	     Look up a state table entry by source and destination addresses
	     and ports.

	     struct pfioc_natlook {
		     struct pf_addr   saddr;
		     struct pf_addr   daddr;
		     struct pf_addr   rsaddr;
		     struct pf_addr   rdaddr;
		     u_int16_t	      sport;
		     u_int16_t	      dport;
		     u_int16_t	      rsport;
		     u_int16_t	      rdport;
		     sa_family_t      af;
		     u_int8_t	      proto;
		     u_int8_t	      direction;
	     };

     DIOCSETDEBUG u_int32_t *level
	     Set the debug level.

	     enum    { PF_DEBUG_NONE, PF_DEBUG_URGENT, PF_DEBUG_MISC,
		       PF_DEBUG_NOISY };

     DIOCGETSTATES struct pfioc_states *ps
	     Get state table entries.

	     struct pfioc_states {
		     int     ps_len;
		     union {
			     caddr_t	      psu_buf;
			     struct pf_state *psu_states;
		     } ps_u;
	     #define ps_buf	     ps_u.psu_buf
	     #define ps_states	     ps_u.psu_states
	     };

	     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-zero, 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,
	     which can be any of the following:

	     enum    { PF_CHANGE_NONE, PF_CHANGE_ADD_HEAD, PF_CHANGE_ADD_TAIL,
		       PF_CHANGE_ADD_BEFORE, PF_CHANGE_ADD_AFTER,
		       PF_CHANGE_REMOVE, PF_CHANGE_GET_TICKET };

	     ticket must be set	to the value obtained with
	     PF_CHANGE_GET_TICKET for all actions except PF_CHANGE_GET_TICKET.
	     pool_ticket must be set to	the value obtained with	the
	     DIOCBEGINADDRS call for all actions except	PF_CHANGE_REMOVE and
	     PF_CHANGE_GET_TICKET.  anchor indicates to	which anchor the oper-
	     ation applies.  nr	indicates the rule number against which
	     PF_CHANGE_ADD_BEFORE, PF_CHANGE_ADD_AFTER,	or PF_CHANGE_REMOVE
	     actions are applied.

     DIOCCHANGEADDR struct pfioc_pooladdr *pca
	     Add or remove the pool address addr from the rule specified by
	     r_action, r_num, and anchor.

     DIOCSETTIMEOUT struct pfioc_tm *pt

	     struct pfioc_tm {
		     int	      timeout;
		     int	      seconds;
	     };

	     Set the state timeout of timeout to seconds.  The old value will
	     be	placed into seconds.  For possible values of timeout, consult
	     the PFTM_*	values in <net/pfvar.h>.

     DIOCGETTIMEOUT struct pfioc_tm *pt
	     Get the state timeout of timeout.	The value will be placed into
	     the seconds field.

     DIOCCLRRULECTRS
	     Clear per-rule statistics.

     DIOCSETLIMIT struct pfioc_limit *pl
	     Set the hard limits on the	memory pools used by the packet	fil-
	     ter.

	     struct pfioc_limit	{
		     int	     index;
		     unsigned	     limit;
	     };

	     enum { PF_LIMIT_STATES, PF_LIMIT_SRC_NODES, PF_LIMIT_FRAGS	};

     DIOCGETLIMIT struct pfioc_limit *pl
	     Get the hard limit	for the	memory pool indicated by index.

     DIOCRCLRTABLES struct pfioc_table *io
	     Clear all tables.	All the	ioctls that manipulate radix tables
	     use the same structure described below.  For DIOCRCLRTABLES,
	     pfrio_ndel	contains on exit the number of tables deleted.

	     struct pfioc_table	{
		     struct pfr_table	      pfrio_table;
		     void		     *pfrio_buffer;
		     int		      pfrio_esize;
		     int		      pfrio_size;
		     int		      pfrio_size2;
		     int		      pfrio_nadd;
		     int		      pfrio_ndel;
		     int		      pfrio_nchange;
		     int		      pfrio_flags;
		     u_int32_t		      pfrio_ticket;
	     };
	     #define pfrio_exists    pfrio_nadd
	     #define pfrio_nzero     pfrio_nadd
	     #define pfrio_nmatch    pfrio_nadd
	     #define pfrio_naddr     pfrio_size2
	     #define pfrio_setflag   pfrio_size2
	     #define pfrio_clrflag   pfrio_nadd

     DIOCRADDTABLES struct pfioc_table *io
	     Create one	or more	tables.	 On entry, pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size]
	     contains a	table of pfr_table structures.	On exit, pfrio_nadd
	     contains the number of tables effectively created.

	     struct pfr_table {
		     char	     pfrt_anchor[MAXPATHLEN];
		     char	     pfrt_name[PF_TABLE_NAME_SIZE];
		     u_int32_t	     pfrt_flags;
		     u_int8_t	     pfrt_fback;
	     };

     DIOCRDELTABLES struct pfioc_table *io
	     Delete one	or more	tables.	 On entry, pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size]
	     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 written into the
	     buffer.  If the buffer is too small, the kernel does not store
	     anything but just returns the required buffer size, without er-
	     ror.

     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_TABLE_MAX];
		     u_int64_t	      pfrts_bytes
					  [PFR_DIR_MAX][PFR_OP_TABLE_MAX];
		     u_int64_t	      pfrts_match;
		     u_int64_t	      pfrts_nomatch;
		     long	      pfrts_tzero;
		     int	      pfrts_cnt;
		     int	      pfrts_refcnt[PFR_REFCNT_MAX];
	     };
	     #define pfrts_name	      pfrts_t.pfrt_name
	     #define pfrts_flags      pfrts_t.pfrt_flags

     DIOCRCLRTSTATS struct pfioc_table *io
	     Clear the statistics of one or more tables.  On entry,
	     pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size] contains a table of pfr_table struc-
	     tures.  On	exit, pfrio_nzero contains the number of tables	effec-
	     tively cleared.

     DIOCRCLRADDRS struct pfioc_table *io
	     Clear all addresses in a table.  On entry,	pfrio_table contains
	     the table to clear.  On exit, pfrio_ndel contains the number of
	     addresses removed.

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

	     struct pfr_addr {
		     union {
			     struct in_addr   _pfra_ip4addr;
			     struct in6_addr  _pfra_ip6addr;
		     }		      pfra_u;
		     u_int8_t	      pfra_af;
		     u_int8_t	      pfra_net;
		     u_int8_t	      pfra_not;
		     u_int8_t	      pfra_fback;
	     };
	     #define pfra_ip4addr    pfra_u._pfra_ip4addr
	     #define pfra_ip6addr    pfra_u._pfra_ip6addr

     DIOCRDELADDRS struct pfioc_table *io
	     Delete one	or more	addresses from a table.	 On entry, pfrio_table
	     contains the table	ID and pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size]	contains the
	     list of pfr_addr structures to delete.  On	exit, pfrio_ndel con-
	     tains 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	mem-
	     bers.

	     On	entry, pfrio_table contains the	table ID and
	     pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size] contains the new list of pfr_addr	struc-
	     tures.  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	write-
	     able buffer for pfr_addr structures.  On exit, pfrio_size con-
	     tains the number of addresses written into	the buffer.  If	the
	     buffer was	too small, the kernel does not store anything 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 {
		     struct pfr_addr  pfras_a;
		     u_int64_t	      pfras_packets
					  [PFR_DIR_MAX][PFR_OP_ADDR_MAX];
		     u_int64_t	      pfras_bytes
					  [PFR_DIR_MAX][PFR_OP_ADDR_MAX];
		     long	      pfras_tzero;
	     };

     DIOCRCLRASTATS struct pfioc_table *io
	     Clear the statistics of one or more addresses.  On	entry,
	     pfrio_table contains the table ID and pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size]
	     contains a	table of pfr_addr structures to	clear.	On exit,
	     pfrio_nzero contains the number of	addresses effectively cleared.

     DIOCRTSTADDRS struct pfioc_table *io
	     Test if the given addresses match a table.	 On entry, pfrio_table
	     contains the table	ID and pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size]	contains a ta-
	     ble of pfr_addr structures	to test.  On exit, the kernel updates
	     the pfr_addr table	by setting the pfra_fback member appropri-
	     ately.

     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 exit,
	     pfrio_nchange and pfrio_ndel contain the number of	tables altered
	     or	deleted	by the kernel.	Yes, tables can	be deleted if one re-
	     moves the PFR_TFLAG_PERSIST flag of an unreferenced table.

     DIOCRINADEFINE struct pfioc_table *io
	     Defines a table in	the inactive set.  On entry, pfrio_table con-
	     tains the table ID	and pfrio_buffer[pfrio_size] contains 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 elements */
		     int	      esize; /*	size of	each element 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	Translation) 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 com-
	     mit, which	will either fail for all rulesets or completely	suc-
	     ceed.  All	tickets	need to	be valid.  This	ioctl returns EBUSY if
	     another process is	concurrently updating some of the same rule-
	     sets.

     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 identify 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 {
			     SLIST_ENTRY(pf_osfp_entry)	fp_entry;
			     pf_osfp_t		     fp_os;
			     char		     fp_class_nm[PF_OSFP_LEN];
			     char		     fp_version_nm[PF_OSFP_LEN];
			     char		     fp_subtype_nm[PF_OSFP_LEN];
		     }			     fp_os;
		     pf_tcpopts_t	     fp_tcpopts;
		     u_int16_t		     fp_wsize;
		     u_int16_t		     fp_psize;
		     u_int16_t		     fp_mss;
		     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> in-
	     clude file	PF_OSFP_* defines.  The	fp_tcpopts member 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 correct 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 incrementing 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 addresses 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 struc-
	     tures 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 ac-
	     tual 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[IFNAMSIZ];
		     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 entry,
	     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 inter-
	     face 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_packets[2][2][2];
		     u_int64_t			      pfif_bytes[2][2][2];
		     u_int64_t			      pfif_addcnt;
		     u_int64_t			      pfif_delcnt;
		     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 interfaces.
	     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 kernel 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 interface */
	     #define PFI_IFLAG_SETABLE_MASK  0x0100  /*	mask */

     DIOCCLRIFFLAG struct pfioc_iface *io
	     Works as DIOCSETIFFLAG above but clears the flags.

EXAMPLES
     The following example demonstrates	how to use the DIOCNATLOOK command to
     find the internal host/port of a NATed connection:

     #include <sys/ioctl.h>
     #include <sys/fcntl.h>

     u_int32_t
     read_address(const	char *s)
     {
	     int a, b, c, d;

	     sscanf(s, "%i.%i.%i.%i", &a, &b, &c, &d);
	     return htonl(a << 24 | b << 16 | c	<< 8 | d);
     }

	     printf("%d.%d.%d.%d", a >>	24 & 255, a >> 16 & 255,
		 a >> 8	& 255, a & 255);
     }

     int
     main(int argc, char *argv[])
     {
	     struct pfioc_natlook nl;
	     int dev;

	     if	(argc != 5) {

			 argv[0]);
		     return 1;
	     }

	     dev = open("/dev/pf", O_RDWR);
	     if	(dev ==	-1)
		     err(1, "open(\"/dev/pf\") failed");

	     memset(&nl, 0, sizeof(struct pfioc_natlook));
	     nl.saddr.v4.s_addr	     = read_address(argv[1]);
	     nl.sport		     = htons(atoi(argv[2]));
	     nl.daddr.v4.s_addr	     = read_address(argv[3]);
	     nl.dport		     = htons(atoi(argv[4]));
	     nl.af		     = AF_INET;
	     nl.proto		     = IPPROTO_TCP;
	     nl.direction	     = PF_IN;

	     if	(ioctl(dev, DIOCNATLOOK, &nl))
		     err(1, "DIOCNATLOOK");

	     printf("internal host ");
	     print_address(nl.rsaddr.v4.s_addr);
	     printf(":%u\n", ntohs(nl.rsport));
	     return 0;
     }
