    Drop all instances from the current namespace.

stats display
    Show internal counters.

global display
    Show the current values of the instance's tweakable internal variables.

global update
    Tweak one of the instance's internal variables.

eamt display
    Show the EAM table.

eamt add
    Upload an entry to the EAM table.

eamt remove
    Drop an entry from the EAM table.

eamt flush
    Empty the EAM table.

address query
    Print the translated version of the given address using the current configuration.

denylist4 display
    Show the denylist.

denylist4 add
    Upload an entry to the denylist.

denylist4 remove
    Drop an entry from the denylist.

denylist4 flush

file handle
    Parse all the configuration from a JSON file.
    Create instance if it doesn't exist, update if it does.

  Flags

--instance <Name>
    Name of the instance you want to interact with.
    It's an ASCII string, 15 characters max. Defaults to 'default'.

--file <File>
    JSON file which contains the name of the instance you want to interact with.
    Same JSON structure as the one from atomic configuration.

--csv
    Output in CSV table format.

--no-headers
    Do not print table headers. (Nor footer, if applies.)

--netfilter
    Sit the instance on top of the Netfilter framework.

--iptables
    Sit the instance on top of the iptables framework.

--pool6 <IPv6-prefix>
    Contents of the new instance's IPv6 pool.
    The format is 'PREFIX_ADDRESS[/PREFIX_LENGTH]'.

--all
    Show all the counters.
    (Otherwise, only the nonzero ones are printed.)

--explain
    Show a description of each counter.

--verbose
    Print some details regarding the translation operation.

--force
    Apply operation even if certain validations fail.

  Other Arguments

<Key> <Value>
    Name of the variable you want to edit (see 'Globals' section), and its new value.

<IPv6-prefix>
    The format is IPV6_ADDRESS[/PREFIX_LENGTH]. PREFIX_LENGTH defaults to 128.

<IPv4-prefix>
    The format is IPV4_ADDRESS[/PREFIX_LENGTH]. PREFIX_LENGTH defaults to 32.

<Instance-Name>
    Name of the instance you want to add or remove.
    If --instance or --file were included in <argp1>, then the instance names must match.

<JSON-file>
    Path to a JSON file.

  Globals

manually-enabled <Boolean>
    Enable or disable the instance.

pool6 (<IPv6 Prefix> | null)
    The IPv6 pool's prefix.
    The format is 'PREFIX_ADDRESS[/PREFIX_LENGTH]'.
    Use null to clear.

lowest-ipv6-mtu <Unsigned 32-bit integer>
    Smallest reachable IPv6 MTU.

logging-debug <Boolean>
    Enable logging of debug messages?

zeroize-traffic-class <Boolean>
    Always set the IPv6 header's 'Traffic Class' field as zero?
    Otherwise copy from IPv4 header's 'TOS'.

override-tos <Boolean>
    Override the IPv4 header's 'TOS' field as --tos?
    Otherwise copy from IPv6 header's 'Traffic Class'.

tos <Unsigned 8-bit integer>
    Value to override TOS as (only when override-tos is ON)

mtu-plateaus <Comma-separated list of unsigned 16-bit integers>
    Set the list of plateaus for ICMPv4 Fragmentation Neededs with MTU unset.

amend-udp-checksum-zero <Boolean>
    Compute the UDP checksum of IPv4-UDP packets whose value is zero?
    Otherwise drop the packet.

eam-hairpin-mode (simple | intrinsic | off)
    Defines how EAM+hairpinning is handled.

randomize-rfc6791-addresses <Boolean>
    Randomize selection of address from the RFC6791 pool?
    Otherwise choose the 'Hop Limit'th address.

rfc6791v6-prefix (<IPv6 Prefix> | null)
    IPv6 prefix to generate RFC6791v6 addresses from.
    Use null to clear.

rfc6791v4-prefix (<IPv4 Prefix> | null)
    IPv4 prefix to generate RFC6791v4 addresses from.
    Use null to clear.

trace <Boolean>
    Log basic packet fields as they are received?

EXAMPLES
Create a new instance named "Example":
    jool_siit instance add Example --iptables

Print the globals:
    jool_siit -i Example global display

Change the IPv6 pool prefix:
    jool_siit -i Example global update pool6 2001:db8::/96

Print the Explicit Address Mappings Table (EAMT):
    jool_siit -i Example eamt display

Add an entry to the EAMT:
    jool_siit -i Example eamt add 2001:db8::/120 192.0.2.0/24

Remove an entry from the EAMT:
    jool_siit -i Example eamt remove 2001:db8::/120

Add denylist prefix 192.0.2.0/24:
    jool_siit -i Example denylist4 add 192.0.2.0/24

Allow translation of 192.0.2.0/24:
    jool_siit -i Example denylist4 remove 192.0.2.0/24

NOTES
TRUE, FALSE, 1, 0, YES, NO, ON and OFF are all valid booleans. You can mix case too.

EXIT STATUS
Zero on success, non-zero on failure.
