pfqueue.conf5

Usage

Full path

/etc/pfqueue.conf or ~/.pfqueue

Overview

pfqueue can be configured storing its option in configuration files. At startup, if /etc/pfqueue.conf is present it is read and options are set accordingly; then, if a .pfqueue file is present in user's home directory, it is read and options are set accordingly, overriding those stored in /etc/pfqueue.conf.
Note that the resulting settings are overridden by command line options.
