* doc: name resolution clarificationJan Engelhardt2009-11-181-3/+5

* manpages: more fixes to minuses, hyphens, dashesJan Engelhardt2009-08-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Debian still carries patches patches to the iptables nroff code touching ASCII minuses, so I thought, what's it this time. Eventually, this patch tries to straighten things once more, per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Hyphens and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Dashes . Titles will get the em dash; all typed commands or parameters with a hyphen get a minus (so that man(1) hyperlinking and copy-pasting does work), but other mentions get the hyphen.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | libiptc already supports adding and deleting multiple rules with different addresses, so it only needs to be wired up to the options. # ip6tables -I INPUT -s 2001:db8::d,2001:db8::e -j DROP References: http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=123929790719202&w=2 Adjustments made: syntax, removal of unneeded variables, manpage adjustment, soversion bump.

* iptables --list-rules commandHenrik Nordstrom2008-05-131-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds iptables --list-rules (-S) command, acting as a combination of iptables --list and iptables-save. The primary motivation behind this patch is to get iptables-save like output capabilities in iptables-restore, allowing "iptables-restore -n" to be used as a consistent API to iptables for all kind of operations, not only blind updates.. As a bonus iptables also gets the capability of printing the rules as-is. This completely replaces the earlier patch which added the --rules option. Henrik Nordstrom <henrik@henriknordstrom.net>
