I'll be the first to admit I'm not an UNIX guru. For readability,
we'd like to format our IPF rules file so that, for files longer than would
normally fit on the screen, we'd use line continuation characters to "wrap"
the lines, e.g.:
...a very long line that is \
continued on one \
or more lines
Is there a filter (using Perl, awk, etc.) that could be applied to the rules
file which would allow IPF to accept it (i.e. join the continued lines)?
FWIW, we're running IPF v3.3.18 under OpenBSD v2.8.
Thanks,
Mike
