iptables-xml — Convert iptables-save format to XML
iptables-xml [-c] [-v]
iptables-xml is used to convert the output of iptables-save into an
easily manipulatable XML format to STDOUT. Use I/O-redirection
provided by your shell to write to a file.
-c, --combine
combine consecutive rules with the same matches but different
targets. iptables does not currently support more than one
target per match, so this simulates that by collecting the
targets from consecutive iptables rules into one action tag,
but only when the rule matches are identical. Terminating
actions like RETURN, DROP, ACCEPT and QUEUE are not combined
with subsequent targets.
-v, --verbose
Output xml comments containing the iptables line from which
the XML is derived
iptables-xml does a mechanistic conversion to a very expressive xml
format; the only semantic considerations are for -g and -j targets in
order to discriminate between <call> <goto> and <nane-of-target> as
it helps xml processing scripts if they can tell the difference
between a target like SNAT and another chain.
Some sample output is:
<iptables-rules>
<table name="mangle">
<chain name="PREROUTING" policy="ACCEPT" packet-count="63436"
byte-count="7137573">
<rule>
<conditions>
<match>
<p>tcp</p>
</match>
<tcp>
<sport>8443</sport>
</tcp>
</conditions>
<actions>
<call>
<check_ip/>
</call>
<ACCEPT/>
</actions>
</rule>
</chain>
</table> </iptables-rules>
Conversion from XML to iptables-save format may be done using the
iptables.xslt script and xsltproc, or a custom program using
libxsltproc or similar; in this fashion:
xsltproc iptables.xslt my-iptables.xml | iptables-restore
None known as of iptables-1.3.7 release
