NAME
netscript-compile - netscript ipfilter-defs compile back end.
SYNOPSIS
netcript-compile [ -fhq ] [ -b max-backup-level ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
netscript-compile
command from the netscript router/firewall network configuration
package.
This command is the back end to the
netscript compile
command documented in
netscript(8)
manpage.
See
ipfilter-defs(5)
for the details on the definitions files in
/etc/netscript/ipfilter-defs.
By default it checks to see if the relevant files in the
/etc/netscript/ipfilter-defs
directory have been updated by comparing their modification times to
that of
/etc/netscript/ipfilter-defs.conf,
and if updating is needed, it recompiles and re-creates the file. Up to
max-backup-levels
of history are kept of previously compiled
/etc/netscript/ipfilter-defs.conf
files, with a numeric extention in order of increasing age.
OPTIONS
-b max-backup-level
Sets the maximum level of backups kept of previously compiled files.
This defaults to 2 (see
/etc/netscript/netscript-compile.conf),
and it is also used by the
netscript(8)
compile
command.
-f
Force compile even though compile file is up to date with definitions. The
testing depends on the modification times of the definition file inodes in
the file system.
-h
Show a summary of options.
-q
Quiet compile. This option suppresses informational progress messages.
