# fwb\_compile\_all(1)

Wrapper script that compiles policies for multiple firewall objects

## NAME

fwb\_compile\_all - Wrapper script that compiles policies for multiple firewall objects

## SYNOPSIS

**fwb\_compile\_all** -f**file.xml** \[-d**wdir\]** \[-av\] \[obj\[ obj ...\]\]

## DESCRIPTION

**fwb\_compile\_all** is a wrapper script that compiles policies for several firewall objects in one batch job. This script takes a list of firewall object names on the command line (or '-a' command line option, see below) and calls policy compiler for each one. The script correctly determines which policy compiler is needed depending on the firewall platform of each object.

## OPTIONS

- \-a

  The script processes all firewall objects in the "/Firewalls" subtree.

- \-d wdir

  Specify working directory.  Compiler creates file with iptables script in this directory.  If this parameter is missing, then iptables script will be placed in the current working directory.

- \-f FILE

  Specify the name of the data file to be processed.

- \-v

  Script passes this option to the compiler, this makes it print diagnostic messages indicating its progress.
