On what version of FreeBSD are you looking the ipfirewall(4) man page? Recently I needed the C api to ipfw, but it turns out that ipfirewall(4) man page no longer describes it. This is on 5.3-STABLE and 4.10-STABLE. I also searched in google and I think I had found a post saying that currently the only way to manipulate/use firewall rules is via ifpw(8) command. If someone can provide me a reference to the C api of ipfw I will be thankfull. Rumen Telbizov
