31 .Nd packet filter logging interface
37 interface is a pseudo-device which makes visible all packets logged by
40 Logged packets can easily be monitored in real
45 interface, or stored to disk using
48 The pflog0 interface is created automatically at boot if both
53 further instances can be created using
56 Each packet retrieved on this interface has a header associated
59 This header documents the address family, interface name, rule
60 number, reason, action, and direction of the packet that was logged.
61 This structure, defined in
64 .Bd -literal -offset indent
70 char ifname[IFNAMSIZ];
71 char ruleset[PF_RULESET_NAME_SIZE];
86 and monitor all packets logged on it:
87 .Bd -literal -offset indent
89 # tcpdump -n -e -ttt -i pflog0
102 device first appeared in
