NAME
zfilterd - A daemon to use the filter hardware of the OpenArchitect switch for filtering based
on iptables(8) rules.
SYNOPSIS
zfilterd [-d <level>] [-p <port>] [-f] [-l] [-i <pid>] [-o <pid>]
DESCRIPTION
zfilterd is a daemon that intercepts filtering rules entered by the user, using iptables(8),
checks them for validity and then prepares messages for the traffic management daemon ztmd,
which is responsible for setting up the switch hardware for the filtering rules and actions.

-d <level> Sets the level of debugging output required by
zconfig. The default level is one (1). Setting the debug level
higher produces more output. Four (4) is currently the maximum
output level.
-p <port> Set the multicast port to which messages will be sent.
-f Run zfilterd in the foreground, by default, it runs in the
background.
-l Log all diagnostic output to /var/log/zfilterd.log.
