As the iptables + manpage puts it: Iptables is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the tables of IPv4 + packet filter rules in the Linux kernel. Several different tables may be defined. + Each table contains a number of built-in chains and may also contain user-defined + chains. Each chain is a list of rules which can match a set of packets. Each rule + specifies what to do with a packet that matches. This is called a target, which may be + a jump to a user-defined chain in the same table. Python-iptables provides python + bindings to iptables under Linux. Interoperability with iptables is achieved via + using the iptables C libraries (libiptc, libxtables, and the iptables extensions), not + calling the iptables binary and parsing its output. + </longdescription> + <upstream> + <remote-id type="pypi">python-iptables</remote-id> + <remote-id type="github">ldx/python-iptables</remote-id> + </upstream> +</pkgmetadata> |
