DESCRIPTION

General syntax rules of Kernun Firewall configuration files are described in configuration(7). This man page describes types, sections and items specific for the time component configuration.

Repeatable sections/items are marked by the '*' before section/item name.

TYPES

Configuration directives have attributes of several value-types. For the basic types description, see configuration(7).
