.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBippool\fR utility is used to manage information stored in the IP pools
subsystem of IP Filter software. Configuration file information can be parsed
and loaded into the kernel and currently configured pools can be removed,
changed, or inspected.
.sp
.LP
\fBippool\fR's use is restricted through access to \fB/dev/ippool\fR. The
default permissions of \fB/dev/ippool\fR require \fBippool\fR to be run as root
for all operations.
.sp
.LP
The command line options used are divided into two sections: the global options
and the instance-specific options.
.sp
.LP
\fBippool\fR's use is restricted through access to \fB/dev/ipauth\fR,
\fB/dev/ipl\fR, and \fB/dev/ipstate\fR. The default permissions of these files
require \fBippool\fR to be run as root for all operations.
